The Problem with Nazism
National-Socialism as an apostate pagan ideology.

Nazism is an apostate esoteric pagan heretical movement. Hitler himself, although raised Catholic, did not practise the faith after his teenage years. Nazi religious ideology is built on a combination of liberal German Protestantism and pagan esotericism.
The type of 'Christianity' that the Nazis promoted was liberal Protestantism of the German Lutheran tradition as it arose in the 19th century. A form of Christianity with all the doctrines and scriptures stripped out so that only the church building and the cross remained to grant justification to all kinds of heresies and deformations of Christianity.
Nazi Germany was a secular-nationalist state.
This is why the Catholic Church always opposed Nazism as a heretical apostate ideology.
It is built around worship of race and blood rather than worship of God.
True, there is a very important place for race and blood. Both are given by God and ought to be preserved and cherished. But not worshipped or made the absolute centre of national life.
Some say, that Nazism is Christian because Hitler and other Nazis said it was Christian. It is true that this was said in some of Hitler’s speeches in the 1920s. But, if you look into it, the movement was dominated by esoteric paganism. Hitler never went to church and Christian Nazis were usually of the liberal Protestant bent.
Moreover, because Nazism is not a Christian ideology, it allowed all kinds of moral aberrations to take place. 27 million dead at the hands of the Wehrmacht in the USSR….millions of innocent Jews killed. This is not a Christian ideology. It is paganism. The religion of race and blood is not the religion preached by Christ.
Nazi ideologist Alfred Rosenberg said:
Today a new faith is stirring: the myth of blood, the faith that along with blood we are defending the divine nature of man as a whole.
This is nothing but pagan apostasy.
