Irish cleric who preached that Israel has Nazi-style policies ‘has family link to Hitler’
Canon David Oxley, who accused Israel of deploying a “master race” theory in a speech to senior Irish politicians at St Patrick’s Cathedral last week, was said to have admitted that his wife’s family were Nazis during the Second World War in his address at the same event five years ago.
According to a report of the 2019 service in the Irish Independent, he told the cathedral that the mother of his wife, Amalia Oxley, was German, and he had relatives who fought for the Third Reich.
He also said, according to the article: “It’s not everyone who can boast that their mother-in-law had Adolf Hitler as a godfather. It’s not everyone who would want to.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
