Subject: Re: Theos-World Hitler's Pope



Perhaps, the Jewish people believed he was trying to assist them. I would 
imagine the only surviving Italian Jew, who was found amongst the dead 
bodies, would have no reason to lie. It was the Jesuits that said, give me 
your son at 7 and I will turn him into anything you want. So they have 
centuries of clever and subtle manipulation. I guess I dont know the truth, 
but my suspicions lie with the Papacy, HPB was ferocious on the subject, and 
I am sure, the notion that she also was a catholic propagandist, is 
ridiculous to contemplate.
Everything seems corrupt about them, the voting system to elect a Pope. 
(PJ23) changed the system prior to his death to ensure the right man got the 
job. And the death of his pre-decessor is shrouded in mystery. I have 
other postings from the same sight which discuss the Concordat, and the 
Christian Mafia if you are interested.

Reich Concordat
July 20, 1933

The Reich Concordat was an agreement signed between the Vatican and the 
National Socialist government of Germany. The person primarily responsible 
for the negotiation and signing of this document was the Cardinal Secretary 
of State, Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pope Pius XII with the agreement of 
Pius XI. Pacelli was a firm believer in the unchallenged authority 
of the Pope as the head of the Catholic Church. For this reason, he had long 
aimed to establish a formal agreement between the Vatican and Germany, and 
impose upon the country's Catholic population the pope's authority. The 
German Catholics were one of the most powerful, influential and wealthy 
Catholic communities around the world. Pacelli wished to establish a power 
relationship with the local clergy that would heavily favor the Vatican. He 
aimed to do so through the imposition of the Canon Code of Law, a definition 
of Church laws that was published and brought into force in 1917; this 
interpretation of Church law
encouraged the supremacy and absolutism of the pontiff over the local 
clergy.


The Concordat allowed the papacy to impose the new laws on the German 
clergy, and gained special privileges for Catholic schools and 
organizations. Pacelli also hoped that the agreement would safeguard against 
Nazi encroachments on and persecution of the German Catholic minority. In 
exchange, the Vatican would 'encourage' the local Catholic clergy and 
faithful to 'voluntarily' withdraw from politics, going as far as disbanding 
its powerful Catholic Center Party. This effectually destroyed any political 
opposition against the Nazis. This guarantee of nonintervention left Hitler 
and the Nazis free to pursue their anti-Semitic policies. Pacelli's 
fear of Catholic persecution raises an interesting controversy. As one of 
the most powerful and faithful communities in Germany, the Catholics should 
have had little to fear from the Nazis especially as early as 1933. The 
matter is further complicated by the historic success of Catholic resistance 
against government persecution in
Germany such as that against Bismarck's Kulturkampf, arguably a more 
systematic and powerful persecuting force than what the Nazis could have 
been in 1933. The Kulturkampf or "culture struggle" was a policy formulated 
by Bismarck, partly as a reaction to the dogma of infallibility. Under this 
program, the entire Catholic community of Germany was systematically 
persecuted, and much of the clergy and its work were submitted to state 
interference. Even as late as 1942, the German Catholic community 
was a powerful social force. The opposition of the Catholics to the Nazi 
euthanasia program helped hasten its end and whatever was left had to moved 
underground. The organization and success of the Jesuits as the 'secret 
army' of the Vatican was another aspect that was feared and greatly admired 
by the Nazis. Himmler went as far as to model the SS after the Jesuits and 
believed them to be the most successful intelligence gathering organization 
in the world, and hence, one to be
greatly feared. Eventually, the reluctance of the Vatican to 
encourage Catholic opposition against the Nazis and their policies served as 
a silent endorsement of their policies. The moral base for protest for the 
Catholics was further compromised with the silence of Pius XII even when the 
terms of the Concordat were repeatedly violated by the Nazis. The reticence 
of the Pope in publicly denouncing Nazi anti-Semitism and his failure to 
publish "The Lost Encyclical" of Pius XI are seen by at least
