Stefan Kirchmann describes in his book"Ambrose and the German Bishop" the moral crisis of Germany as the basis of the silence of the Church, in regards to National Socialism. St. Ambrose was a bishop who dared to criticize the then Emperor Theodosius the Great after he committed an ill-considered mass murder. When, on June 30, 1934, the murder of an indefinite number of German Catholics and co-workers of a bishop occurred, the German bishops remained silent about this act and thus gave up their position as the last moral compass of the German population. Kirchmann criticizes the church, considering it as being completely subordinated to the state and having only worldview, that of the National Socialists.
