Writing A Christian Book


When a German, who served as a Hitler Youth and Anti-Aircraft-support, becomes pope and travels to Israel, his Jewish contempories hold their breath, waiting to hear what he has to say there. He spoke moving words at the Holocaust Memorial, Yad Vashem. But a central point was left out: an apology for the crimes of the Church against the Jews. When this was criticised, a Vatican spokesman said that the pope had already taken a position and said everything concerning the relationship of the Church to the Holocaust.

For example during his speech at the Youth Day in Cologne. However, anyone who rereads the speech has to realize that Josef Ratzinger left out the ecclesiastical roots of anti-Semitism. He describes the Holocaust as a result of “neo-pagan racial ideology,” that is, Hitler’s ideology of purebred Germans and inferior Semites.

So, the pope assumes that the Holocaust could not be blamed on his Church, but solely on Hitler.

However, the latest historical research, as, for example, by the American historian David Kertzer, shows that Benedict is committing an irresponsible falsification of history when he claims that the extermination of European Jews can be traced back solely to the “neo-pagan ideology” of the Nazis. The historian literally writes in his book “The Popes Against the Jews: The Vatican’s Role in the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism”: The idea that the Catholic Church merely reinforced the religious rejection of Judaism, but did not spread any of the negative judgments attributed to modern anti-Semitism regarding the allegedly damaging social, economic, cultural and political role of the Jews, has been reduced to absurdity by historical reality. When modern anti-Semitism emerged at the end of the 19th century, the Catholic Church was one of the most significant players, by constantly warning against an ever increasing Jewish danger.

The slogans used for these warnings and which Mr. Kertzer again summarizes were, among others: Jews are rapacious and merciless; they will try to get their hands on all the gold in the world at any price and will not worry about how many Christians they ruin in the process; Jews are unpatriotic, foreigner to the security and welfare of the people, etc.

“Each of these elements of modern Anti-Semitism,” so writes Kertzer, “were not only tolerated by the Catholic Church, but also actively represented by its official and nonofficial organs.”

So, the Pope really would have had reasons to apologize in Jerusalem for the contribution of his Church to the Holocaust. That he didn’t do this and that a spokesman for the Vatican said almost flippantly that everything had already been said has a distressing effect. Because his statement in Cologne read: We are not to blame at all; it was solely the Nazis.
