 | Catholic Sermons Defying the Nazis 2 of 10 THREE SERMONS IN DEFIANCE OF THE NAZIS By Blessed Clemens August Count Von Galen Bishop of Munster, Germany During the Third Reich (Nazi Germany) Portrayed by Cal Beisang. In these sermons, Bishop von Galen takes on the Nazis, exposing what they did to innocent German citizens, the Catholic orders, the mentally ill, the old and infirm and how the government was usurping the role of parents in raising children. There was swift retribution for these sermons. Reichsleiter Bormann advised to Hitler that the Bishop should be taken into custody and be hanged. But, they feared that they'd have to deal with the remainder of the Catholic population in the diocese of Munster. Instead, they attacked those close to the Bishop. Twenty-four secular priests and 13 members of the regular clergy were deported into concentration camps. Ten lost their lives. Even a so-called democracy can lose its way. Those in great positions of power should always be held accountable by their constituency through a stable system of checks and balances founded upon a constitution that upholds the Natural and Positive Divine Laws. God bless. A full biography of Bishop von Galen along with the complete manuscripts of these three sermons can be downloaded here: http://www.churchinhistory.org/pages/booklets/vongalen(n).htm These are published with permission from the Diocese of Munster and with permission from www.churchinhistory.org.

 | A&E Biography - Hitler & Stalin Pt.4 (final) They are responsible for some 60 million deaths. They ruled their countries with iron fists, squashing all dissent and directing government-sponsored programs of terror against their own citizens. Drawing on the latest findings and expert analysis from leading psychologists and historians, HITLER AND STALIN: ROOTS OF EVIL examines the 20th century's worst villains. The parallels are striking: both had abusive fathers and doting mothers, both were extremely insecure about their physical appearance and ashamed of their backgrounds, and both came to power at roughly the same time. From Hitler's "Jewish nose" to Stalin's deformed foot, the Final Solution to the Gulags, this incisive special compares the backgrounds and policies of these two despots, interpreting the latest evidence and theories in the hopes of illuminating the personal, emotional and mental underpinnings of their actions. The first program of its type, HITLER AND STALIN: ROOTS OF EVIL adds a new facet to our understanding of these two reviled dictators. |
 | LOVE! (1of3) Sermon, 99-year-old Rev. Fr. Eleutherius Winance PART 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHPUW9oGOHs PART 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POpfA9wkYUs 99-year-old Benedictine Priest-Monk, the Rev. Fr. Eleutherius Winance (a Belgian) lived in a Benedictine monastery in Szechwan, China, during the Communist takeover, which happened in 1949. Because he refused to renounce the authority of the Pope and join China's national church (which would later become the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association), Father Winance was arrested by the Chinese Communists, jailed then expelled (with a police escort) from China. A monk for more than 82 years, Father Eleutherius now lives in a religious community in the United States. GOSPEL READING: Matthew 15:21-28 21. And Jesus went from thence and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22. And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil. 23. Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us. 24. And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel. 25. But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me. 26. Who answering said: It is not good to take the bread of the children and to cast it to the dogs. 27. But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. 28. Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith. Be it done to thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was cured from that hour. . . . . . .

 | Beato Cardenal Clemens A. von Galen Eligió como lema: "Nec laudibus, nec timore" (Ni por alabanzas ni por amenazas me desviaré de los caminos de Dios). Mons. Clemens August von Galen fue uno de los obispos que Pío XI invitó a Roma en enero de 1937 para conversar con ellos sobre la situación en Alemania y para preparar la encíclica "Mit Brennender Sorge" (Con gran preocupación), en la que el Papa acusó al régimen nacionalsocialista ante la opinión mundial. Gran resonancia mundial tuvieron más tarde, como punto culminante de su resistencia abierta contra el nacionalsocialismo, los tres famosos sermones que pronunció en el verano de 1941 ?el 13 de julio y el 3 de agosto? en la iglesia de San Lamberto y ?el 20 de julio? en la parroquia de Nuestra Señora en Münster, llamada "Überwasserkirche"; en ellos condenó los abusos del Estado y reclamó el derecho a la vida, a la inviolabilidad y a la libertad de los ciudadanos. Fustigó duramente el asesinato de los discapacitados físicos y mentales por considerarlos "improductivos". Por su actitud valiente fue llamado "el León de Münster". La autoridad nacional se sintió fuertemente herida y quería detenerlo y asesinarlo, pero temió perder el apoyo de la población católica de la diócesis de Münster para el tiempo de la guerra. El obispo sufrió mucho porque en su lugar llevaron a campos de concentración a 24 miembros del clero secular y 18 del clero regular, de los cuales 10 perdieron la vida. En los difíciles meses de la posguerra, muchas personas recurrían a él. Se opuso abiertamente a las autoridades de ocupación cuando se quería cometer alguna injusticia. Contradijo enérgicamente a la opinión entonces dominante de la culpabilidad colectiva de todos los alemanes. Pío XII lo creó cardenal el 18 de febrero de 1946, como reconocimiento a su actitud intrépida durante el período del nacionalsocialismo. Los fieles que llenaban la basílica de San Pedro aplaudieron cuando recibió de manos del Papa la dignidad cardenalicia. Al regresar a la diócesis, el 16 de marzo de 1946, fue acogido con entusiasmo por una gran multitud. Ante las ruinas de la catedral destruida pronunció su último discurso. Al día siguiente, después de una operación quirúrgica, enfermó de gravedad. Murió el 22 de marzo de ese mismo año y fue sepultado en la capilla de San Ludgero de la catedral derruida. Fue un hombre de fe profunda y muy piadoso, como lo atestiguan sus cartas; uno de sus primeros actos pastorales fue la institución de la adoración perpetua en la iglesia de San Servacio de Münster. De su oración profunda sacaba fuerza para su inquebrantable resistencia a la injusticia e inhumanidad de los poderosos nacionalsocialistas y para su acción pastoral. Muchas veces, al alba, peregrinaba al santuario de la Virgen en Telgte para suplicar la protección de la Madre de Dios. Sigue siendo también hoy modelo para afrontar la "dictadura" de la moda o de la opinión pública, y enseña que se debe sacar la fuerza para ello de la fe personal y de una religiosidad auténtica. |

 | Erwin Blumenfeld - Collages and Photography Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) was a famous American photographer of German origin. In the 1930s, he published collages mocking Adolf Hitler. In 1936, he emigrated to Paris. With the German occupation, he was interned in a concentration camp in 1940 because he was Jewish. In 1941, he could escape to the USA. In the 1940s and 1950s he became famous for his fashion photography, working for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and also for artistic nude photography. In the 1960s, he worked on his autobiography which found no publisher because it was considered to be too ironic towards society, and was published only after his death. About Erwin Blumenfeld Erwin Blumenfeld was a renowned photographer whose work is situated between 1930 and 1969. He was born in Berlin on 26 January 1897, moved to Holland late 1918, and started a professional career in photography in 1934. He moved to France in 1936. From 1937 to 1939, he published in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. When the Second World War broke out, he was interned in French camps as an alien, but was everntually allowed to leave for New York in 1941. He became a US citizen in 1946. His more personal work is in black and white; his commercial work in fashion, much for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, is mostly in color. In both media he was a great innovator. In black and white he did all his work personally in the dark room. In color he drew on his extensive background in classical and modern painting. He married Lena Citroen in Holland in 1921 and had three children there: Lisette, Henry Alexander and Frank Yorick. He died in Rome on July 4th, 1969. For details of his life one should read his picaresque autobiography, which he wrote in German and on which he worked from 1955 till 1969. It has been published in German under the title: Einbildungs Roman, Eichborn Verlag, 1998. It also has come out in English under the title: Eye to I, Thames and Hudson, 1999. It was first published in French under the title: Jadis et Daguerre, Robert Laffont, 1975, with a re-edition by Editions de la Martinière, 1996. It also has come out in Dutch: Spiegelbeeld, Uitgeverij de Harmonie, 1980. There were several earlier German editions under the title: Durch thousendjährige Zeit. To appreciate his work in photography, the principal publications of his work are the following: •My One Hundred Best Photos, Bentelli Verlag, 1979. Only black and white. •A Passion for Beauty, Thames and Hudson, 1996. •The Naked and the Veiled, Thames and Hudson, 1999 •Erwin Blumenfeld. 55 Photos, Phaidon Press 2004 ISBN 0-7148-4193-5 A lesser-known aspect of Blumenfeld's image-making is his films. Captured between 1958 and 1964, these were mainly pilots for beauty commercials, aimed at his key beauty clients Helena Rubenstein, Elizabeth Arden and L'Oreal. The full holdings can be seen on SHOWstudio.com. Erwin Blumenfeld had numerous exhibits of his work, among the most important were the following: •Rath Museum in Geneva, Switzerland, 1979 •Musée Pompidou, Paris, France 1981 •Barbican Museum, London, UK, 1996.

 | Was Adolf Hitler an Atheist MORE FUN HITLER QUOTES "Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith." ( Adolf Hitler, in 26 April 1933, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933. ) "[T]he world has no reason for fighting in our defense, and as a matter of principle God does not make cowardly nations free..." ( Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., New York: Mariner Books, 1999, p. 622. ) "This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief." ( Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., New York: Mariner Books, 1999, p. 152. ) "National Socialism has always affirmed that it is determined to take the Christian Churches under the protection of the State. For their part the churches cannot for a second doubt that they need the protection of the State, and that only through the State can they be enabled to fulfill their religious mission. Indeed, the churches demand this protection from the State." ( Adolf Hitler, in a Radio Broadcast July 22, 1933; from My New Order. ) "I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lords work." ( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Reichstag, Berlin, 1936. ) "At the head of our [National Socialist] program there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will—not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord." ( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Nuremberg, September 6, 1938. ) "May God Almighty give our work His blessing, strengthen our purpose, and endow us with wisdom and the trust of our people, for we are fighting not for ourselves but for Germany." ( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Berlin, February 1, 1933. ) "The judgment whether a people is virtuous or not virtuous can hardly be passed by a human being. That should be left to God." ( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Wilhelmshaven, April 1, 1939. ) |
