The prophet of Nazism (Rosenberg) against Catholicism
Main Article Content
Abstract
There is a lot of literature about the Nazi position towards Judaism, as well as about the Holocaust. But it is less frequent to analyze what they have against Catholicism. And it has even been the subject of controversy. In this article, the work of Alfred Rosenberg, who was considered by Hitler as the "prophet of Nazism", is taken as a reference to demonstrate, from his texts, to what extent Nazism was a profoundly anti-Catholic ideology, in its claim to develop an alternative spirituality, rather linked to pagan and pantheistic logic, and always confronted, both in the conceptual field and in that of the political practice of his time, the Vatican, and Catholics in general.
