Christopher Gillibrand at Catholic Church Conservation comments on the campaign by Titanic magazine in Germany against Pope Benedict XVI. The Holy See obtained an injunction against the magazine in July but it continues to publish insulting pictures of the Holy Father.
Cathcon points out that the magazine should remember the history of Nazis denigrating the Church and the Pope, illustrating the point by the above cartoon. The texts in the cartoon translate as follows:
The French trip of the Cardinals.The cartoon also offers one more demonstration to disprove the calumnies against Pope Pius XII which smear him as a friend of the Nazis and an enemy of the Jews. Evidently the Nazis didn't think so at the time.

The Persecution of the Catholic Church in the Third Reich

The book was published anonymously by Weihbischof Neuhäusler who collected in Munic extensive evidence of the year-long struggle of the Nazis against the catholic church.
When it was first published in English in 1941, the Nazis knew immediately who the author was. He was sent to prison in Dachau for four years.
However, he had reached his goal to inform the world over this "Kirchenkampf", the struggle between the Nazis and the church.
That the Nazis thought the Pope favoured the Jews is not the best evidence.
I am reminded of Falstaff's tailor who declined to extend Sir John's credit on Bardolph's bond because "he liked not the security".
