THE REICH DID NOT PERSECUTE CATHOLICS!

“No one in the German Reich was persecuted or harassed because of their Catholic beliefs or their membership in the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, however, the political party of the Center, even after the ban on parties, tried to regain political influence through Catholic associations and other organizations. We will never allow this. We have completely overcome the party political system and will not allow it to operate in any way indirectly.”

— Wilhelm Frick, in the Postzeitung Ausburg of June 12, 1935.

The ϟϟ: “Are we fighting the Church?”

«This accusation has been leveled at us from the beginning, repeatedly, by internal enemies; today, however, our external enemies accuse us of it in the most hostile manner. The Führer has emphasized COUNTLESS TIMES that the Church and its priests always enjoy the protection of the State, provided that they dedicate themselves exclusively to the care of souls and do not act against the political will of the people. The confrontation of the individual with an ancient doctrine of faith is too often and too willingly equated with attacks "tolerated by the State" against the Church. On this point it is fundamental to state: in every age and among all peoples there were upheavals in the religious field; one will not want to deny the right of our time to be allowed to seek a belief in God that is in our nature.» — SS Handblätter für die weltanschauliche Erziehung der Truppe, p. 24

— The SS emphasized that the Führer always protected the priests and the church.

"The greatness of Christianity did not arise from attempts to make compromises with those philosophical opinions of the ancient world which had some resemblance to its own doctrine, but in the unrelenting and fanatical proclamation and defense of its own teaching."

“This year you once again expressed your best wishes for my birthday and at the same time expressed the hope that the war end victoriously, leading to a lasting and beneficial peace for the good of our Fatherland.

I sincerely thank you for your words and at the same time express my sincere hope that the unity with which the German people yearn for the victory of our just cause will increasingly eliminate the grounds for distrust that still often arise in the relations between political and ecclesiastical activity.

Your assurance that your tireless efforts also serve to strengthen and deepen loyal devotion and obedience to state authority gives me hope that the cases that fuel this distrust will gradually disappear.”

"We do not want a Wotan cult - that is too stupid, we do not want any kind of dispute or sectarianism. On the contrary, we only want one thing: that the two denominations work together peacefully and try to educate a valuable German person. That is what we want."

The stepchildren of science. Physical research and Parapsychology in Germany, by Heather Wolffram.

— 1937, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙈𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩: [𝙞.𝙚. 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙢]

“Although occultists increasingly faced prosecution for offences such as fraud, assault and bodily harm during the Weimar Republic, parapsychologists tended to remain unscathed by governmental, medical and religious attempts to criminalise or ban occultism, their knowledge and expertise even finding practical applications in fields such as criminology, psychology and geology. In the eyes of Weimar officials, the dangers posed by occultism were of a medical, moral and financial nature, areas in which parapsychology appeared benign. While the spiritual and ideological aspects of occult practices may have been of intense concern to the churches, the state was not motivated to legislate against them for these reasons. The Nazi take-over in 1933, however, altered this situation, the party viewing occultism's dangers in medical, moral, financial and ideological terms, its message of universal brotherhood in direct conflict with the volkisch nationalism preached by National Socialism. In this context, parapsychology, which increasingly saw itself not only as an important new science, but as a harbinger of peace, also became subject to STATE INTERFERENCE. The 1930s witnessed the introduction of increasingly restrictive legislation against occultists. In 1934, Saxony outlawed the remuneration of fortune telling, its performance in public, and the sale of written material relating to card reading, horoscopes, and dream interpretation.'" Prussia and Baden followed suit in the second half of the same year.'s In July 1936, the Regierungspräsident in Hannover [Prime Minister of Hanover] released a police ordinance prohibiting the practice of fortune telling, but allowing for the publication and sale of printed material that took a scientific or cultural-historical approach to the subject.'" As the decade progressed however, the National Socialist government took an increasingly hostile stance on occultism in ALL ITS FORMS. A number of talks hosted by the NSD Aerztebund [National Socialist Doctors Organisation], for example, labelled occultism a Volksgefahr [public hazard] and stressed the need to protect the population, whose susceptibility to such phenomena was heightened by economic crisis, from such morally and politically dangerous forces [...]” (p.216)
