The Communist drive against the Roman Catholic Church, which is essentially an effort to split it up into national segments, follows a plan conceived by Adolf Hitler. The diary of Nazi Racist Alfred Rosenberg, published last week by U.S. Military Government in Germany, tells how in 1940 Hitler planned to set up a German Catholic Church with its own pope. He also intended to have a pope for each German satellite country. Rosenberg quotes Hitler as saying: “The more popes, the better.”
