“Some bishops and priests have been accused of helping high-ranking Nazis escape justice at the end of the Second World War. One such bishop was Alois Hudal. In charge of a priest training college from 1923 to 1952, Hudal openly shared his pro-Nazi views and is believed to have helped dozens of senior Nazis flee. A recently discovered telegram between Hudal and Hitler only incriminates the priest further. A Croatian priest, Krunoslav Draganovic, has also been accused of playing a key role in organizing Nazi escape lines.Recently, Harvard professor Kevin Madigan has argued that the Vatican was aware of Hudal and Draganovic’s actions, even endorsing them as “a sort of papal mercy program for National Socialists and Fascists.” However, other historians, and the Vatican itself, have disputed Madigan’s claims, arguing that Hudal’s pro-Nazi views caused frequent clashes with the Papacy. According to this view, if senior Nazis ever used the Church’s refugee program to escape, it was only by hiding their true identities from Church officials.” Why was there a lack of gender and sexual diversity with the Bible writers, the Trinity, and Biblical angels?
