Jenny asks…

What are some good books on the Church in Nazi Germany?

I’m interested in learning more about the Church in Germany during WWII. I’m already familiar with Dietrich Bonhoeffer (I really want to see the movie now). It would also be a bonus if the book(s) had some perspective on how those events helped shape the Church in Germany and her theologians in coming year after that.

Thanks!

Complicity in the Holocaust: Churches and Universities in Nazi Germany [Hardcover]
Robert P. Ericksen (Author)

Betrayal: German Churches and the Holocaust [Paperback]

These three are a good start to your collection for more in depth insight of Nazi Germany.

John asks…

Did Pope Benedict do enough to resist the Nazis?

I heard a Vatican representative say Ratzinger did all he could under the circumstances to resist the Nazis. Then I thought of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
I am not a Christian but if I had to give out holiness awards, I would go with Bonhoeffer. He gave his life in resisting the Nazis.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I think generally the consensus is no, he did not. Many believe the Catholic Church and the Nazis made agreements and compromises harmful to the Jews. In fairness, this was a very difficult time, but…there are excellent sources which detail the lack of resolve of the Catholic Church at this time. German Resistance @Wikipedia
Hitler was very popular at this time and the resistance groups could not agree on principle. 77,000 Germans were imprisoned for their disagreement. Eventually there were 43 assassination attempts on his life but he survived all.

Nancy asks…

Examples: Oscar Schindler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Corrie Ten Boom

Mark asks…

Please help!!! Does anyone out there know why the Diet of Worms was significant?

Where Martin Luther defended the principles of the Christian Reformation. Why was this significant to the Christian Reformation?
Thanks!!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

The Diet of Worms, it is most memorable for addressing Martin Luther and the effects of the Protestant Reformation. Emperor Charles V demanded that Martin Luther recant his beliefs and reaffirm his faith with the Catholic Church.

Luther’s refusal to recant struck to the heart of the Church’s authority and paved the way for the Reformation.

David asks…

why was Martin Luther was declared an outlaw and a heretic by the Diet of Worms.?

help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Martin Luther wrote that salvation comes by grace instead of the sacraments of the Catholic church. He especially came out against indulgences. He was allowed to recant, but he didn’t. So he was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. This was better treatment then some received who had the same ideas. John Hus was martyred.
