Dr. Albert Einstein!

On the Catholic Church's role in fighting the rise of Nazism in Germany.


More from the article The Myth of Hitler's Pope by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. in the Latin Mass magazine's Fall 2005 issue.


As Dr. Einstein assures us:


"Being a lover of freedom, when the NAZI revolution came to Germany, I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but no, the universities immediately were silenced.

"Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers, whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks.

"Only the Catholic Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing the truth.

"I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom.

"I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised, I now praise unreservedly..."


Way, to go, Doctor! :)
