Mit Brennender Sorge

A week ago today was the 82nd anniversary of Pope Pius XI's issuance of Mit Brennender Sorge (With burning concern) denouncing Nazism as the evil, pagan cult that it is. And John Cornwell's, 'Hitler's Pope', Ven. Pius XII, as Cardinal Secretary of State Eugenio Pacelli, was one of its principal authors.


8. Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honourable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinises them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.

But, hey! Everyone knows that Hitler was a Catholic and the Church is  Nazi, eh?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
