Summary: 

(8-line quote at end)

Nazism was very bad news for Catholics in Europe.  They were  not
true Aryans, and many were severely oppressed.  It is not surprising
that many Catholics realized this and fought the Nazis;  it is also 
not too surprising that many Catholics refused to believe the worst
of the Nazis and supported them.  See the novels of heinrich Boell
for eloquent statements concerning the conditions of German
Catholics.
