Report from Reinhard Heydrich detailing how the Catholic church are...

"CATHOLICISM AS A WHOLE, thus bears significant responsibility for the incitement of enemy states against Germany."
________________________
“The Catholic hierarchy, firmly believing and hoping that the war would take a favorable course for the Western powers, has shown its true face and, from the very beginning of the current war, openly sided with the enemies of National Socialist Germany.
There can be no clearer evidence of this than the statements of their most influential representatives, who have, in their encyclicals, pastoral letters, speeches, etc. not only spoken out against the National Socialist worldview and the National Socialist state but have also, partly covertly and partly openly, attacked the person of the Führer in the most vile manner.
The Catholic hierarchy, and thereby CATHOLICISM AS A WHOLE, thus bears significant responsibility for the incitement of the people in the enemy states against Germany and its consequences. On the other hand, it must be noted that the German episcopate has not even attempted to strengthen the war front in Germany in the opposite sense.
Therefore, it is to be assumed that the German bishops hold the same position on this issue as the other dignitaries of the Catholic hierarchy outside the Reich's borders, which also corresponds to the Catholic universality.
Furthermore, the course of the war so far, compared with the statements of the Catholic hierarchy beyond the Reich's borders and the absence of corresponding statements from the German episcopate, has shown that the German people did not and do not require strengthening of their war front from the church side. Rather, their exclusive and unified alignment THROUGH NATIONAL SOCIALISM has enabled them to achieve the greatest mobilization of their strength in history.”
- Reinhard Heydrich

Dear Party Comrade Bormann,
Enclosed I am sending you a summarized overview of the confessional ties and ecclesiastical connections of the clique of conspirators from the 20th of July.

Subject: 20 July 1944
The Confessional Ties and Ecclesiastical Connections of the Conspirator Clique.
In the investigations into the events of 20 July 1944, it has repeatedly emerged that confessional ties and ecclesiastical connections played a significant role in the conspirator clique.
1. A portion of the individuals who had to be included in the investigation stated that they were devout Christians of the Protestant or Catholic faith.
2. Another portion held firmly to traditional ties of a Christian-ecclesiastical nature.
3. A considerable number of those involved on 20 July came from the political work of Catholicism (Catholic Action, the Centre Party, Christian trade unions) or were part of the Confessing Church.
4. Despite the diversity of the individuals’ relationships with Christianity and the Church, these confessional ties determined their attitude towards National Socialism, at least to the extent that they approached National Socialism with reservations, criticism, or outright rejection.
5. Despite all the differences and contradictions encountered within the broader circle of conspirators, there was a certain agreement that Christianity should provide the moral foundation of the state, although it was left open as to whether Christianity might eventually be replaced by another stable world order.
6. Many efforts were directed towards strengthening the non-National Socialist state through the influence of the Churches over the people and providing the Churches with every opportunity to develop in religious and charitable terms.
7. Within the individual groups, there were strong disputes over whether the new state should be proclaimed as Christian in such a way as to conduct explicitly Christian policies.
