The Pope and Hitler

So, the news is that Adolf Hitler may have been abused as a child by Catholic priests. Interesting. Very interesting, in the light of the Pope’s recent slagging-off of the rise of Nazi-Germany, of which Hitler was an architect.

Hitler was born into a Catholic family, and in those days children were immediately subjected to religious brainwashing from birth, much as they are today.  Indeed, the brainwashing was so strong that one of Hitler’s first ambitions was to join the priesthood.

It is thought that the molestation first started around the age of 10 or 11 whilst he was attending a Catholic school based within a deeply religious Benedictine monastery.  Initially he was top of his class, but suddenly he became disruptive and spent time alone and sulking.  These are classic reactions to abuse.

In those days, as in the proceeding thousands of years of abuse from Catholic priests, there was no public awareness of priests’ desire to abuse children. Children would not be believed were they to speak out against the priest but were usually threatened or punished.  It is not known if Hitler tried to get help or tell anybody, but for reasons that weren’t published he left the monastery within a year.

A lot of the abused continue within the religion, and Hitler did, even taking his Conformation Catholic ritual and when he was 15 taking part in his first Holy Communion.

Pretty soon after this as he grew into manhood he slowly distanced himself from Catholic life, but remained a committed Christian, even suggesting that Jesus was in fact Aryan rather than Jewish.

As he gained power he continued to talk about Christianity and didn’t want to have a land that had state imposed atheism as had happened in the USSR.  At no time did he preach or impose any set controlled religion or belief system, leaving the Church separate to State.   

Today’s Pope grew-up in Nazi Germany, was a voluntary member of the Hitler youth, and at no time fell or felt under threat because of his extreme Catholic views.

It seems that State and Church were able to live in harmony in Germany during the Second World War.

However, over half a decade later it suits the Pope to make remarks that liken atheism to Nazism.  This, of course, is a classic construct: If you want to make something appear bad or evil, you have to somehow associate it with something that is generally accepted to be bad or evil.  The Catholic church has historically done this in order to change its flocks’ view on the scriptures that make-up the Bible.

The Catholics deleted the gospels that didn’t carry the party line, and re-wrote the importance of such people as Mary, the woman who became Jesus’s wife.  Instead of wife, she was a prostitute in the Catholic re-working of the gospels.  Prostitutes are generally thought of as unsavoury, and that’s what the Catholics wanted Mary to be thought of, as an unsavoury person who had no real importance in Jesus’s life.  As millennium after millennium has passed and the Catholic church has historically systematically killed anybody trying to reach the truth, it has now become completely accepted and unchallenged that Mary was a prostitute.  There are many other examples of how the Catholic church has changed things to link them to ‘evil’.  The Catholic church is very good at changing reality.

Hence how the Pope was recently able to change reality for the dying numbers that are still hypnotised enough to follow him.  He was able to demonise non-Catholicism in their eyes, especially atheism.  This was also a distraction from the increasing revelations about the horrors that face any child trapped within the Catholic church and left alone with priests, plus the Catholic treatment of women, the Catholic intolerance of gays, and the Catholic record on human rights.

However, atheism is simply the non-belief in any god.  It is nothing more sinister than that.  Atheism isn’t the organising of others, controlling them, or forcing ritual upon them.  There is nothing evil about it, nothing controlling, nothing organised, and nothing of it is forced into a child’s belief system.  Atheism is born of the natural logical thinking that humans are born with and uses the natural moral compass that is within everybody.  This scares the church.  As the masses mature and start to think for themselves instead of allowing themselves to be subjugated by other humans, this threatens the sole purpose of the Catholic church.

This is real reason why the Pope is moved to demonise free-thinkers as he did on his unwelcome tour of England and Scotland.  It’s to frighten his last remaining flock into staying under his control.
