are you quoting somebody there or is this your own list i'll try to address the points raised hearsay is rumour received from others that one did not personally hear oneself that does not describe table talk which is essentially a primary contemporary source of edited notes taken down by scribes mein kampf i believe was also began as a text dictated by hitler rather than written by hitler is that hearsay too and what of notes taken by speer is that hearsay interesting you note that bormann was anti catholic why then would a devout catholic as you term hitler appoint an anti catholic as his private secretary and the defacto deputy fuehrer multiple translations a valid issue to raise but given that hitler and his henchman all strangely enough conversed in german we are dependent on translations in all cases whether it be mein kampf inside the third reich or table talk the fact that authors like kershaw bullock encyclopedia brittanica and toland all quote from table talk is evidence of its essential bone fides though if you are aware of alternative translations provided by reliable sources please do present them or bracket them as also translated as the bias of the translators can you provide reliable sources for this please i do not know what you mean by the table talk thoughts do not occur in other private or public conversations table talk contains all sorts of quotes which are reinforced by other sources to pluck one from the countless options speer whom you view as a reliable source says that hitler made harsh pronouncements against the churches to his political associates in berlin and specifically notes that bormann relished to take down hitler's harshest comments on the churches goebbels diary per kershaw others is another source confirming hitler's thinking on the church struggle you say nowhere does hitler denounce jesus or his own brand of christianity this comment seems to suggest that you are indeed willing to accept the validity of at least some of the table talk text good so please note the text says hitler believed it is certain that jesus was not a jew and that the apostle paul falsified jesus' doctrine these alone are the words of a heretic not a devout catholic agreed as a sign of good faith it would help at this point if you renounced the claim that hitler was a devout catholic beyond this the transcripts are thoroughly peppered with denunciations of christianity the anti christian pronouncements contained in table talk are entirely consistent with the nazi efforts to promote positive christianity as a substitute for christianity the renunciation of the bible and jewish origins of jesus which positive christianity entailed was to give him a false birth certificate as cardinal michael faulhaber put it in and the notion of the myth of blood and soil was as pope pius xi wrote in mit brennender sorge in entirely inconsistent with catholicism and christianity more broadly the peak of the revelation as reached in the gospel of christ is final and permanent it knows no retouches by human hand it admits no substitutes or arbitrary alternatives such as certain leaders pretend to draw from the so called myth of race and blood hitler plainly was not in good standing with the church of rome in
