You seem to forget that there where catholics and christians who didn't reject christ to follow Hitler.Pre WW2 many americans were diving head first into Nazi ideals.
Everyone knows the Nazi's prepares the youth to fall in line with their plans.Makes sense that even some priests would fall right in line.It should be noted it wasn't pretty for ones that didn't.Any part of the catholic church that sided with him is as guilty.



I believe it was in 2005 that virginia apologied for it's eugenics program.Some other states tooNazi seminars where all the rage in amreica for some time.There were even shipping lines based here that flew the nazi flag and worked covertly to promote nazis socialism in amreica.(interesting story if you care to google it.).And on a funny note,Margret Sangers ideas were too radical for the Nazi's.
Looks like alot more people than just the church dipped their stick into the SS inkwell.

You realize that the whole point is that these people thought that following Hitler was following Christ?
That Hitler was doing God's work?


Certainly, nobody is arguing that all Christians (what's up with the sentence Catholics and Christians, by the way; catholics are Christians) were nazis.
A small but real minority certainly were resistant, this guy being an example.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996
