On July 8 (1933), the Concordat between the German Reich and the Holy

See was signed. German clergy showed little enthusiasm upon hearing

the news. Hitler, however, was all the more elated, particularly since the

act was bound to make a positive impression on neighboring countries,

above all Poland. He issued the following order on the same day:242

 

"By virtue of the conclusion of the Concordat between the Holy See and the

German Reich Government, there is, in my view, sufficient guarantee that from

now on the members of the Roman Catholic confession in the Reich will place

their services unreservedly at the disposal of the new National Socialist State.

Thus I hereby decree:

  1. The dissolution of those Catholic organizations recognized in the present

agreement whose dissolution was performed in the absence of an order of the

Reich Government shall be repealed immediately.

  1. All sanctions imposed upon priests and other leaders of these Catholic

organizations shall be discontinued. Any repetition of such sanctions in future

is inadmissible and will be punished in accordance with the laws in force.

I am happy in the conviction that an epoch has now come to an end in

which, unfortunately all too often, religious and political interests became

trapped in a seemingly irreconcilable polarity.

'''The agreement concluded between the Reich and the Catholic Church will

serve, in this sector as well, to bring about the peace required by all.'''"
