Dear Friend:
How would you explain the following facts?


1.  The individuals responsible for the Holocaust: Hitler, Himmler,
Heydrich, Goebbels and Eichner were all reared in strict Catholicism.
looking at their biographies..that statement has to be regarded as
AT LEAST misleading..
Furthermore..we all know from the psychological point of
view that apostized Catholics always where the worst enemies of
the Church.
2. The bystander nation that are responsible for killing Jews and
cooperation ithe the Naziz, on a voluntary basis were:  Ukrainians,
Lithuanians, Poles and Croatians. All deeply religious Catholics.
I object such a subjective point of view..Thats merely your
opinion (in terms of "bystander nations" as well as "deeply religous
Catholics..or even these people  of occupied countries coopareted
with the Nazis on a voluntary basis..(It has nothing to do with
being a fact that serves your view on Catholicism)


3.  Austria  A`deeply religious Catholic country, contributed enormously
to the Holocaust Perpetrators.
Both statements  not quite correct..to say the least.even more so if put into
one statement!


4. The Catholics in German constituted only 40% of the population and
60% of the SD (Sonnerdienst) engaged in murdering Jew>
we wouldnt want to confuse apostized Catholics or ex-Catholics
with Catholics would we? We also should look at the fact that..
Catholics Regions did not vote for Hitler..(how about that fact
for a change?)
For me the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Not if we are bias towards the cook or have
problems with our taste-buds (because of
eating to much wrong food before;)

Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain.
And drinking largely sobers up again.
