Noll's books.] As for the destruction being wreaked by the Nazis, Noll notes that Jung viewed them as the necessary precursors to the great
"light", those whose task was to destroy to make "rebirth" possible. [Compare with Bailey's assessment below.] It took until 1945 for Jung to
finally denounce the Nazi extermination of the Jews, but he never retracted his proposal for a "Germanic, Jew-free psychotherapy". (Sklar,
p.138-139)
To remove the "bad seeds" of Christian (that is, Jewish) thinking, Nazi preparation of children for the new humanity would be diligent from
cradle to grave, centered around the notion that they were born to die for their god, wmbodied in their Fuehrer. The education began with
revised fairy tales teaching new-humanity principles of heroes struggling and dying to set their race free. Then group membership started at
age 10, followed by continuous reinforcement in group settings for the remainder of their lives, "so that they shall in no case suffer a relapse,
and they don't feel free again as long as they live," as Hitler bluntly put it. (Sklar, p.110) There was non-stop activity which required passive
participation, allowing no time for reflection or discussion.
And what did Christian leaders think of Hitler? Although many Christians eventually bought into "positive Christianity", apparently there
was enough opposition to necessitate an early purge of that community. Before launching his "final solution", Hitler made an effort to
remove all churches and pastors who showed the least resistance to policies already in operation. For example, refusal by a church to sponsor
a Hitler Youth chapter was sufficient grounds to close it down. Leaders whose integrity would not yield to political expediency, who could
not be discredited by scandal, and who had the potential to influence Christians at large, were imprisoned indefinitely (Dietrich Bonnhoefer
for example). Although Hitler did not close down many Catholic churches, especially where local support was strong, he vented his rage on
Pope Pius XI, who had issued an encyclical condemning him as "a mad prophet possessed of repulsive arrogance" ("Mit Brennender Sorg",
March 14, 1937).
2a. Hitler and the Pope
This Catholic leader and his successor, Pius XII, have long been the subject of controversy for their publicly ambivalent statements regarding
the Jewish genocide taking place in their times. However, in the eyes of the Third Reich, Pius XI had already gone too far with his encyclical,
and Nazi General Ludendorf was convinced that Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, then the Vatican Secretary of State and soon-to-be Pope Pius XII,
was behind the wording of this document and "behind all the anti-German activities of Rome's policy". (Pinchas Lapide, _Three Popes and
the Jews_, p.120) The Nazi government lodged a harsh protest with the Vatican shortly afterward (April 12, 1937- see Georg May,
_Kirchenkampf oder Katholikenverfolgung_, p.582). When Pius XII came to power in 1939, he appeared to adopt a more diplomatic tone,
making his position much harder to identify. [It is not my aim here to evaluate whether Pius XII did or did not do enough to oppose the
Holocaust. There is a great number of published papers which come to conflicting conclusions, but the prevailing opinion today is that Pius
XII failed abysmally by remaining silent in the face of Nazi genocide. For open-minded readers, I recommend a documented rebuttal from
the Catholic side, which ironically relies on the research of several Jewish scholars, especially Israeli historian Pinchas Lapide. My goal here
is to show the Nazi response to what Pius XII did say, and to suggest motives for it.] Yet the so-called "Silent Pope" came under attack in
Nazi political cartoons published in _Der Stuermer_, which showed the pontiff kissing rabbis. (reported to me by German researcher Robert
Jesolowitz, who has them on file)
In what most historians consider a vague protest, Pius XII referred to "those hundreds of thousands who, without any fault of their own,
sometimes only by reason of their nationality or race, are marked for death or progressive extinction" (Christmas Message 1942). Vague or
not, his message was not missed by the Nazi leadership. Himmler's deputy Reynhard Heydrich responded with: "The Pope has repudiated the
National Socialist New European Order... He is virtually accusing the German people of injustice toward the Jews and makes himself the
mouthpiece of the Jewish war criminals." (quoted by Lapide, p.137) In Italy, the editor of _Regime Fascista_ wrote: "The Church's
obstruction of the practical solution of the Jewish problem constitutes a crime against the New Europe." (Michael Schwartz, _The Persistent
Prejudice: Anti-Catholicism in America_, p.246) [Besides the obvious Nazi conviction that Catholics were heeding a covert call from the
Pope for resistance, note the familiar phrase "New European Order", its only difference being on a regional scale rather than today's global
goal.]
[It can be - and usually is - argued that Pius XII did not do enough, given his vast resources and global influence. On the other hand, Lapide
shows that he did substantially more than other leaders who were not caught in Hitler's hammer-lock, such as the U.S. government which
turned away Jewish refugees even though immigration quotas left room for over one million between 1933 and 1943. (Documentation of
American inaction is available in _While Six Million Died_, by Arthur D. Morse.) This sense of perspective is often lost by over-reliance on
the 1963 German drama, "Der Stellvertreter" (performed as "The Deputy" in London that same year), which repeats Heydrich's charge of
"war criminal", only this time presenting the Pope as an accomplice for the Nazi side by his "silence". Aside from the fact that the charge
itself is debatable, I have yet to see anyone portray then-President Roosevelt as a "war criminal" for his refusal to get involved at a much
lower risk.]
[Four points about "The Deputy" which reflect on the NA-Nazi connection: (1) This play focusing on Pius XII to the exclusion of many other
silent "Deputies" was introduced by playright Rolf Hochhuth as a "fantasy", yet it has come to be regarded by many as a definitive "work" on
the Holocaust Pope. In sharp contrast, many students of the Holocaust have never heard of Pinchas Lapide's assessment of Pius XII, based
not on fantasy but on solid research. (2) This initiative to elevate Pius to "war criminal" status did not come from the Jewish community but
from post-Nazi Germany, where no small number of unrepentant war criminals were able to continue their lives - and their occultic beliefs.
(3) "The Deputy" was strongly criticized by Lapide, who said that world Jewry did not endorse this view of Holocaust history. For some
reason, few Jews are aware of this disclaimer, let alone in agreement. Point (2) conveniently serves the NA divide-and-conquer strategy
toward Jewish-Christian relations, manipulating this painful history of the Church failing the Jews while covering up their own designs
against both groups. Points (1) and (3) show the unapologetic history revision commonly seen in the New Age framework- not merely a
retroactive application of create-your-own-reality, but disinformation with an agenda.]
[But Point (4) is perhaps the most telling: One of the earliest records of Pius XII denouncing the Nazi movement dates back to April 1935,
when Pacelli was still a Cardinal: "These ideologues are in fact only miserable plagiarizers who dress up ancient error in new tinsel." (address
at Lourdes to 250,000 pilgrims) By recognizing the return of the "ancient error" which the Church had repeatedly battled in the past -
occultic Gnosticism - this pope declared himself a formidible enemy in the arena most important to the Nazis: the ancient cosmic-religious
War of Light against Darkness. I would submit that his evident knowledge of the occult roots of Nazism disturbed Hitler and his fellowinitiates
far more than anything Pius did later, for they were in the process of burying all such traces [see below]. This is the best explanation
for the hysterical tirades reportedly directed personally at Pacelli by Hitler, and even a plot in 1940 to kidnap him. The threat from this pope
did not end with the Third Reich, because the real "War" was - and is - still in progress. On the contrary, Pius XII was so highly esteemed
that at his death (1958), Israel's Foreign Minister Golda Meir eulogized him in the name of the Jewish State, and the Israeli public called for a
