Talk:Catholic Church in Germany

message: Why is there no mention of the Reichskonkordaton this page?
There is a length entry on this subject, but the word is not even mentioned here.
It seems like a case of whitewashing.

message: "has hit" in "Securalisation has hit in Germany as elsewhere in Europe;" is a little provocative.  Maybe this can be changed? Cuvtixo 23:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Secularisartion has hit

message: I get the feeling of "white wash" in the section on the Catholic Church, Germany and the Holocaust. There has been much more debate over the church's role than the article describes. John Cornwall in Hitler's Pope speaks of Pius XII signing a concordat giving essentially free rein to the Nazis--a very different conclusion from what the article portrays.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.186.32 (talk) 06:20, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes. There is not even a mention of the Reichsconcordat even though there is a lengthy entry about it elsewhere. Vectronn (talk) 09:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I move the following here, as it seems to be a case of undue weight:
:German Catholicism also has political weight through the Christian Democratic Union. Recently, Jorg van Essen, parliamentary manager of the Free Democrats, noted that "the Christian Democratic Union is still very much a Catholic party."Judy Dempsey, "Victory Brings Risk of Conflict with Merkel's Allies," The New York Times, 27 September 2009. Not surprisingly, in  Nov., 2009, a number of politicians from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), launced a new working group called "The Circle for Committed Catholics in Politics and Society" (Arbeitskreis Engagierter Katholiken) to promote faith and values in office. So far it has attracted 500 members. German Minister of Education and deputy head of the CDU, Annette Schavan, told the RHEINISCHE POST (24, November) that "a new circle could have an inspirational effect on the debate as to what should be on the CDU's programme." She herself would not be joining, however. "People know I'm Catholic. I don't need a special circle," she said.Christa Pongratz-Lippitt, "New political group will further loyalty to Rome," The Tablet, 5 Dec., 2009, 36. According to the German weekly, Der Spiegel, 4% of practicing Catholics have withdrawn from the Christian Democratic Union because they think Angela Merkel is "not Christian enough."Editors, "Merkel Not Christian Enough," The Tablet, 30 January 2010, 34.  
It seems more relevant to the CDU than to the Catholic Church. Furthermore, it presents the view that the CDU is a Catholic party as a fact when it really is the (contentious) opinion of a political rival. It also lacks context for the Arbeitskreis, implying that it is a strong body which strengthens Catholic influence when in fact it is a reaction to a dwindling of that influence. That the Arbeitskreis was founded 60 years after the beginning of the Federal Republic of Germany, while the Protestant Arbeitskreis existed from the beginning, should be telling. Finally, Schavan is no longer minister or deputy head of the CDU. Str1977 (talk) 09:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
