So he instead just criticized the regime and its policies in veiled ways.
So veiled the Nazis were able to claim, without contradiction from the pope, that the pope praised Hitler and the Nazi regime and supported its aims, even as German cardinals offered the Nazi salute and redoubled dedication to the German war effort. With critics like this, who needs sycophantic minions?
