Trump's Catholics

Since the arrival of Donald Trump in the White House it has been noted how many Catholics Trump has in his administration.

Himmler, Heydrich, Bormann, Goebbels, Hoess, Seyss-Inquart, Barbie, Frank were just some of the Catholics in another leader's administration.

Hoess was the man in Auschwitz.

Bormann's son, also Martin, became a priest, later left ministry and married a former German Dominican Sister.

Himmler was responsible for the murder of millions of people.

Goebbels was a man ahead of his time as he made the idea of 'alternative truths' an art form.

And millions believed him. There were even those who believed him when he spoke an 'alternative truth' on February 18, 1943.

In that speech Goebbels said: "Danger faces us. We must act quickly and decisively, or it will be too late."

Sound familiar?
