WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.480 I can only summarize it now, and I will do so as tersely as I can. 00:03.760 --> 00:08.720 First, fascism, the original 20th century totalitarian movement, is really, 00:09.040 --> 00:12.660 historically, another name for the political activity of the Catholic right 00:12.660 --> 00:12.880 wing. 00:13.560 --> 00:14.820 There is no other name for it. 00:15.000 --> 00:19.220 Francoism, Salazarism, what happened in Croatia, in Austria, in Bavaria, 00:19.340 --> 00:19.680 and so on. 00:19.740 --> 00:23.120 The Church keeps on trying to apologize for it, can't apologize for it enough. 00:23.200 --> 00:25.380 It's the Catholic right, Mussolini. 00:25.600 --> 00:29.380 You can't quite say that about Hitler, National Socialism, because that's also 00:29.380 --> 00:34.520 based on Nordic and Pagan blood myths, leader worship, and so on. 00:34.540 --> 00:37.160 Though Hitler never repudiated his membership of the Church. 00:38.060 --> 00:42.800 And prayers were said for him on his birthday, every year till the very end, 00:42.860 --> 00:43.980 on the orders of the Vatican. 00:45.000 --> 00:47.840 And all of these facts are well known, and the Church still hasn't found another 00:47.840 --> 00:49.520 way to apologize for that enough. 00:49.560 --> 00:52.180 And whatever it is, you can call that, you can't call it secular. 00:52.640 --> 00:53.800 You may not call it secular. 00:53.800 --> 00:57.880 By the way, Joseph Goebbels was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. 00:59.320 --> 01:02.780 Fifty percent, according to Paul Johnson, the Catholic historian of the Waffen-SS, 01:03.000 --> 01:04.160 were confessing Catholics. 01:04.760 --> 01:08.760 None of them was ever threatened with excommunication, even threatened for it, 01:09.120 --> 01:10.820 with it, for taking part in the Final Solution. 01:11.640 --> 01:18.680 But Joseph Goebbels was excommunicated for marrying a Protestant. 01:19.140 --> 01:20.780 You see, we do have our standards.
