But see, both the Jew and the Nazi can be wrong. Both reject the truth of Jesus Christ and His Church, who say that all men should be saved through the blood of Christ and the sacraments.

All are called to conversion because all suffer from original sin, that is the turning away from God begun by our earliest ancestors. Baptism removes sin and leads to salvation ("You must be born again of water and the spirit" and "Baptism now saves you").

Governmentally, Catholic monarchy (or some other form of confessional state where the leaders of government answer to religious authority to some extent) removes the problem of Jews being in power, because the primary rule is that of the law of God. The same law that brought Europe from nothing to the jewel of the world, precisely because the law of Christ and His love is at its center.

Then why did he introduce the pagan Nazi quasi-religion, complete with its own rites and holidays? Why did the SS follow its own dark paganism so much?

Hitler may have initially agreed with a form of God, but there was good reason that Catholics were persecuted and imprisoned by the Nazi regime.

Ultimately, National Socialism is still socialism, which is a flawed philosophy.

I'm a student of history, and am fully prepared to admit that Hitler was right about a lot of things; but his philosophy was flawed at its core, just like everything else that stems from the Enlightenment.

Note: I made a nobile effort to read Mein Kampf, but it's the only book I've read which was worse written than Atlas Shrugged, and I just couldn't get through it.

to quote Hitler; "Socialist’ I define from the word ‘social’ meaning in the main ‘social equity’. A Socialist is one who serves the common good without giving up his individuality or personality or the product of his personal efficiency. Our adopted term ‘Socialist has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true socialism is not. Marxism places no value on the individual, or individual effort, of efficiency; true Socialism values the individual and encourages him in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must be in consonance with those of the community. All great inventions, discoveries, achievements were first the product of an individual brain. It is charged against me that I am against property, that I am an atheist. Both charges are false.”

I get it, sure. He is echoing the errors of the Enlightenment by viewing people as "workers" instead of as individual souls who are precious simply because they are humans created by God.

Also the whole pagan thing.

That may be, but the fact is that the Nazi party did promote its own form of paganism, especially within the SS. History is replete with politicians who use religion to promote their own ideals.

This is not specifically a criticism of Adolf Hitler, but is a criticism of any government that promotes a pluralistic society, including and especially the USA. You could certainly argue that the USA is less Christian in practice than Hitler's Germany.

All of those groups are equally mistaken in their beliefs in that none recognize the entry of the Logos into human history and its implications.
