Papal protection of Jews in Provence from the 13th century until the late 18th century might also be considered in this context.

Because Yeshua told us to turn the other cheek. Many Catholics were appalled by nazi persecution of Jews, many tried to save Jews, disabled persons and work shy people.

Catholics do not deny that Hitler was trying to rid the country of speculation and usury but he did it by way of race theory, eugenics and naturalism; similar to Zionism but Zionism diametrically opposed to Hitlerism. Due to this naturalism, persecution was inevitable.

Yes - and one of the leading ethics questions of the 20th century has been: should the one with the most power always win? This is not exactly what we're discussing at the moment, but these approaches to 'naturalism' make me think of that ethics problem. Social Darwinism of the late 19th century had a major role to play in the transfomation of 19th century eugenics into other forms of ethnic theory, and thus the conflicts between a master race and a chosen people. But these are just very general points.
