VOICE OF CHURCH
MAKING ITSELF HEARD IN GERMANY AND IN OCCUPIED LANDS. OPEN DENUNCIATION OF NAZIS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, October 5. The “Daily Mail’s” correspondent on the German frontier says that the Church in Germany and the occupied territories is making her voice heard against Hitlerism.
Count von Galen, Bishop of Munster, who has a tremendous following in Westphalia, preached three denunciations in the past months, in one of which he said: “There is neither justice nor freedom in Germany. Nazism is more to be feared than the British bombs.” The Gestapo chief, Himmler, urged Count von Galen’s execution, but Hitler is reluctant to antagonise the Westphalians. M. Bruno De Solages, rector of the Catholic Institute in Toulouse, has called on French Catholics to denounce Hitlerism. “God cannot permit Germany to win the war,” he said. “No one who knows the story of Germany’s satanic persecution of all forms of religion can possibly desire the triumph of Nazism.”
