The apotheosis of 21st Century Catholicism speaks
Even in our own lifetime, we can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews, who were thought unfit to live. I also recall the regime's attitude to Christian pastors and religious who spoke the truth in love, opposed the Nazis and paid for that opposition with their lives. As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the twentieth century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus to a "reductive vision of the person and his destiny".

1. Nazis wished to eradicate God?

You'd have thought their belt buckles would have been an easy place to start this. A lot cheaper and safer than bombing and invading countries that even back then were far more secular than most...

5. It's a sad day for Catholicism
when you can no longer rewrite history with a hot fire and some rope.

7. Well waterboy Bill Donohue is already doing his duty.
Echoing Pope Ratzi's lies and demanding atheists "apologize" for Hitler. Fucking A.
