Were Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church in Germany unduly
singled out after 1945 for their conduct during the National
Socialist era? Mark Edward Ruff explores the bitter controversies
that broke out in the Federal Republic of Germany from 1945 to 1980
over the Catholic Church's relationship to the Nazis. He explores
why these cultural wars consumed such energy, dominated headlines,
triggered lawsuits and required the intervention of foreign
ministries. He argues that the controversies over the church's
relationship to National Socialism were frequently surrogates for
conflicts over how the church was to position itself in modern
society - in politics, international relations and the media. More
often than not, these exchanges centered on problems perceived as
arising from the postwar political ascendancy of Roman Catholics
and the integration of Catholic citizens into the societal
mainstream.
