You demand that I use facts and cite sources. However, you yourself make statements without providing supporting links. Personally, I did not find in Hitler's biography that he visited the Pope. You either made it up or confused something, most likely.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
