In other news, Republican politicians in Indiana have voted for a larger, more intrusive, and burdensome government.

On the other hand, no one thinks Ben is even close to being historically accurate. So it basically comes across as a bunch of adults arguing with a 5 year old.

With a stupid, wilfully ignorant five year old- case in point :

That's how and why he came to power, he wasn't a socialist like Hitler.

Sister Bendy has discovered something that people like Alan Bullock and Ian Kershaw in their well-researched exhaustive biographies of Hitler missed- apparently Adolf was a Socialist!

Note- he omits to mention Hitler's Roman Catholicism, and the extinction of the German Catholic Centre Party- which had previously, along with the German labour movements & parties (Socialist and Communist) offered the only serious opposition to the National Socialists. The Catholics' party was dissolved thanks to the machinations of the Vatican and Catholic German politicians such as Papen.

He also omits to note the avid support given by the Catholic hierarchy in Germany to Nazism, and elsewhere in Europe to fascist and racist regimes- in Slovakia and Croatia.

But none of this is a huge surprise.

Calling Hitler Catholic is a bit of a stretch. His mother was devout, and Hitler got baptized and confirmed, but stopped being Catholic soon after that.

It's far less clear cut than that, at various times until well into the war he made a large number of contradictory statements about his beliefs, both publicly and privately. You couldn't definitively call him a committed Catholic, but equally you can't say he wasn't one. We simply don't have enough evidence to support either argument.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Considering that the Official Church of the Third Reich was far more Lutheran (yes, it is our shame to bear) than Catholic, I'd argue that he really didn't have much love for the Catholicism of his mother.

Depending on what you believe of his quotes, he could have been a Catholic, a Protestant, a non-denominational christian, a pagan or an atheist.

It's really not worth worrying about, the evidence just isn't there.

is that an offer?

[rah]

is that an offer?

NA, I'm one of those 'death to us part' kind of guys and long ago committed to who I'm going to the grave with.

[Sava]
