I appear to have become a Christo-fascist By Bruce Walker

Two recent articles in American Thinker have earned me an unexpected honor: the Christophobic Left calls me a "Christo-fascist." Why? My articles, grounded upon books I own and which were written in the 1930s and early 1940s, showed conclusively that: (1) Most Germans, before Hitler, had abandoned Christianity - which is why Hitler was able to gain power, (2) The Nazis loathed with particular passion Christianity, and (3) The only people in Germany who openly opposed the Nazi regime on moral grounds - when they could have been silent and lived - were devout Christians.

Both articles were precisely referenced. I gave the names of the books, the dates of publication and the names of the authors. The virtue of old books is that they cannot lie. When I quote >from a book in front of me now, Blackmail or War by Genevieve Tabouis, published by Penguin Books in 1938, and when I refer readers (as I do here now) to page 207, where Tabouis speaks of Catholic opposition to the Nazi regime, including mass protests in 1937 and where Tablouis writes “The Protestant opposition is equally staunch, in spite of wholesale arrests of clergy by the agents of the Gestapo,” honest critics can check see if those references are valid (I welcome that) but Tablouis wrote what she wrote, then that is an immutable historical fact – even if a critic believes in 2007 that what Tablouis wrote in 1938 was mistaken.
