After 1933, the existence of Germany’s sizeable Catholic minority meant the Nazi regime had to make certain concessions to the Roman Catholic Church’s authority. The signing of the Concordat between Hitler’s government and Pope Pius XII in 1936, for example, allowed the Catholic Church to maintain its autonomy over education in Catholic schools while formally dissolving the Center Party. But the tensions between the state and Roman Catholic Church still remained in the years to come. In this document, an SS report on the “mood” of the public [Stimmungsbericht] in Munich, illustrates some of the tension in the relationship. Here, the SS expresses concern about a Catholic mass delivered on December 27, 1936, by Chaplain Eberlein. The Catholic prelate had railed against the continued censorship of the Catholic Church’s press materials. Although Eberlein was willing to speak out against the regime’s infringements on the press, his critique unveiled the antisemitism that was still common in the Catholic Church. To his displeasure, the Nazi-affiliated press regularly depicted Jesus as a Jew.
