Talk:Protestant Reich Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a rather tiny article. Were they just not very significant? Because there's like volumes on Catholic Nazis at Wiki.--T. Anthony 08:38, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
There is some confusion here. The article implies that Rosenberg's 30 points were the program of the Reich Church, which is not correct. Although there was a faction within the German Christians organization that wanted to ban the Old Testament from Church teaching, this is hardly true of the Reich Church in general. The ideas of Nazi thinkers like Rosenberg and Jakob Wilhelm Hauer were directly opposed to Christianity, but they were not really encouraged by the Nazi leadership. Hitler knew he needed the support of the Protestant Church to gain power, so any attempt to officially abandon the Old Testament would not have been in his interest. Anyway, Rosenberg's and Hauer's attempts to create a new völkische religion had nothing to do with the Reich Church, which was just the official body of German Protestants in the Third Reich designed by the totalitarian state. Also, the Thule Society was not an occult order, as countless conspiracy buffs claim, but a far-right political organization. 87.169.52.227 00:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, Rosenberg's fantasies were not a programme for the Protestant Riech Church, which is what this article is about. I'm not even clear about the provenance of this 30 point plan, which seems extreme, even for Rosenberg. Paul B 18:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
NAZI View of Aryan Jesus This article should include discussion of the Nazi concept of Jesus which they developed from 1933 onward, with links to the below, because it is such a unique view of Jesus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus#Other_views http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race rumjal 10:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
