Some low-level ones were smuggled into Quebec via the Church after WWII. Some of them were later the founders for the Quebec separatist party. Their Bill 101 - French language only laws - were what helped drive a lot of Jewish people out of Quebec...

research " Vatican ratline" you will than learn that Hitler being a Roman Christian asked permission of the church to go to war. church said yes, under a certain condition. and that condition has to do with the inquisition. every pope has said that there can not be religion without inquisition. add things up, you are well under way.

And the stream of horseshit from the Catholic bashers continues.

Religious targets

The Nazis also targeted religious groups, though Jews were actually the main target for total extermination during the Holocaust.

Additionally, thousands of Christian clergy were killed by the Nazis. Some were killed either because of Jewish background (as in the case of Edith Stein) or were killed as part of the Nazi's campaign against the Polish intelligentsia, but others were killed in a general campaign against the Catholic Church in Poland. In the countries in which Roman Catholic bishops, and even Catholics themselves had openly protested and attacked Nazi policies, like in the Netherlands and Poland where bishops and priests had protested the deportations of Jews, the clergy was either threatened with deportation themselves and kept in custody (as in the case of German bishop Clemens von Galen), or directly deported to concentration camps (as in the cases of the Dutch Carmelite priest Titus Brandsma and Polish Fr. Maximilian Kolbe, who was later canonized).

The Catholic Church was particularly suppressed in Poland. Between 1939 and 1945, an estimated 3,000 members, 18% of the Polish clergy, were murdered; of these, 1,992 died in concentration camps. In the annexed territory of Reichsgau Wartheland it was even harsher than elsewhere. Churches were systematically closed, and most priests were either killed, imprisoned, or deported to the General Government. The Germans also closed seminaries and convents persecuting monks and nuns throughout Poland. Eighty percent of the Catholic clergy and five of the bishops of Warthegau were sent to concentration camps in 1939; in Chełmno, 48%. One hundred eight of them are regarded as blessed martyrs. Among them, Maximilian Kolbe was canonized as a saint.

Not only in Poland were Christians persecuted by the Nazis. In the Dachau concentration camp alone, 2,600 Catholic priests from 24 different countries were killed.

Some dissenting Protestant clergy, such as those who founded the anti-Nazi Confessing Church, were also persecuted.
