Here we go again.
He claims that the Catholic Church encouraged youths to join Hitler Youth. What a bunch of hooey. I think it to be outrageous to say that the Church “failed to heed the message that only God can be sovereign over us”. I wish Bishop Gumbleton would stop making such ignoramous statements like this and I believe he’s living in denail and is ignoring the facts.
Like Pius XI rightly points out in the Encyclical Mit brennender Sorge:Whoever identifies, by pantheistic confusion, God and the universe, by either lowering God to the dimensions of the world, or raising the world to the dimensions of God, is not a believer in God. Whoever follows that so-called pre-Christian Germanic conception of substituting a dark and impersonal destiny for the personal God, denies thereby the Wisdom and Providence of God who “Reacheth from end to end mightily, and ordereth all things sweetly” (Wisdom viii. 1). Neither is he a believer in God.
8. Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.
