February 1938 (Des Moines Register)
"The Nazi war on the Catholic church - dramatized by the trial of the Rev. Martin Niemoeller - has tended to strengthen the church. Figures showing an increase in Catholic membership since Hitler came to power are published, paradoxically, by Nazi papers."
"'Der Angriff,' mouthpiece of Germany's most violent assailant of the church, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, used the figures in an effort to show that the church has full freedom under the Nazis and indeed flourishes under 'special privileges.'"
"The newspaper took exception to the church assertions that the church stands under emergency law in Germany, and declared, 'It has been established that the opposition is the truth: The church enjoys special rights, more monopolistic than even the state church in England.'"
