| Summary: | Scholars such as Guenter Lewy have established that the institutional Catholic Church capitulated to Nazism and traded moral leadership for institutional survival.

Ultimately, the regime's documents themselves indicate that neither the Nazi state nor the Catholic Church were the monoliths that earlier scholarship portrayed. |
