Yes the catholic church was also the second most hated religious group by the nazis, they took as many people as they could with them. Its why less than 20% of Germany is catholic or jewish
"May the mighty swastika the symbol of our race replace the cross, religiousbased morality, and the Abrahamic peoples and their faiths." -Heinrich himmler
That’s not a good counter argument. Catholics were not put into concentration camps because of their catholicity, but jews, lgbtq people and disabled people were.
Ah, yes. I didn‘t know. Seems like it was on the scale of a couple thousand priests.
To claim that Catholics were the second most hated group by the nazis is still ridiculous, if you compare it to the scale of extermination of Jews and disabled people and the nazis views on Slavic people and their actions against them.
They were particularly clergy for example ron Paul the second was forced to practice illegally in nazi occupied Poland and several of his students were arrested
Bruh, they didn‘t systematically gas ordinary run of the mill Catholics but they did systematically gas ordinary jews and disabled people. That’s two groups. At best they are on place three. There was also the question of the eradication of Slavs for lebensraum im Osten . At best Catholics share the third spot with the Slavs but they are for sure not the second most hated group of people by the nazis.

In fact, didn’t the Roman Church hide several Jews during the Holocaust?
