Catholic Church
A considerable debate developed after 1945, among both historians and leaders of opinion, politicians and representatives of the Catholic Church, on the attitude of the international Catholic Church towards the violent persecution of the Jews and the Shoah. It has become clear that the church leaders of the Vatican, but also in Nazi-Germany on historical grounds (out of fear for a new Kulturkampf), chose for a form of still diplomacy and humanitarian help instead of an open confrontation and political intervention.
