The Pope, The Nazis and The Holocaust
Then Judas asked him regarding what would happen at the ending of man's days upon the earth. And Jesus said “A child shall be born amongst men, to show the The Way and The Light. He will come in eighty two generations from mine, and mankind may hear him not at all. There shall be some who will be around about him who shall hear his words. He will bid mankind to reason and to let the spirit that is within them dwell in this that is meat among the generations of the few who shall follow, and so survive.”
Judas said to Jesus, “So what will those generations do?”
Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, for all of them, the Stars bring matters to completion. When the span of time assigned is complete, the Star will appear, prophesying the coming to the generations, and they will try to kill him, as they will have said they would do. Then they will fornicate in my name and slay my people. Even the little children shall they murder, in hope that he will be amongst them, and so will be no more concern to them. And they will do all manner of evil to ensure his destruction.”
Extract from The Book Of Man
Recently the Pope visited Austria, and began his visit by paying silent tribute to the victims of the Nazi Holocaust at a memorial in Vienna.
Not unlike Pope Pius XII who, during the war years, remained rather quiet in the face of Nazi atrocities.
Even before the Nazis reoccupied the demilitarized zone of the Rhineland in 1936 the Vatican had in 1933 signed a concordat with Hitler, part of which contained various exemptions for the Catholic clergy in the event of German rearmament. So obviously they had more than an inkling of what was going to transpire a few years ahead.
Cardinal Faulhaber, who as it happens ordained the current pope as a priest in 1951, stated in a 1937 sermon: “At a time when the heads of the major nations in the world faced the new Germany with cool reserve and considerable suspicion, the Catholic Church, the greatest moral power on earth, through the Concordat expressed its confidence in the new German government.”
An interesting thing to say, when in 1935 - two years before that statement - the Nazi state had officialy commenced Jewish persecution through the Nürnberg Laws, which were two measures designed by Adolf Hitler and approved by a Nazi Party convention at Nürnberg, Ger., on Sept. 15, 1935. The laws deprived Jews of German citizenship and forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and “citizens of German or cognate blood.” Supplementary decrees defined a Jew as a person with at least one Jewish grandparent and declared that Jews could not vote or hold public office.
As can be seen from photographic evidence from the period, apart from documentary evidence, the Catholic church and the Nazi government had a very close relationship.
