- Description: "The Lion of Münster: The Bishop Who Roared Against The Nazis" Blessed Clemens August von Galen was the first bishop named in Germany after Adolf Hitler took power. He became known as the Lion of Münster because of his outspoken criticism of the Nazis. In 1941, at the height of Germany's success in World War II, he predicted that unless the country put an end to the injustice of the Gestapo, no amount of heroism on the battlefield would prevent the country from collapsing into ruin. His sermons against the Gestapo and the killing of the handicapped were secretly copied and distributed all over Germany, as well as being dropped in huge numbers from British airplanes. He survived the war and was made a Cardinal in early 1946, but died of a appendicitis attack shortly after returning to Germany from Rome.

Oh dear Blessed Archbishop von Galon ,how we need religious leaders like yourself. Please pray for All Priests. Please Pray for my son's. God bless.
A man who deserves and needs WAY more fame
A man of wonderful principles, a Hero who confronted the totalitarism in Germany without fear, defending the people with special needs. God bless him. Thanks "father" for all u did, and wherever u are take care of this people.
@@jeremyjames1659 Who are you referring to? Certainly not Blessed Clemens August von Galen. If you make it a point to condemn others it is YOU who must live in fear of being tormented in Hell for all eternity. I pray you'll repent of your evil for the Salvation of your Eternal Soul.
Thank you for this wonderful talk. Von Galen is an inspiration to us all to reject tyranny.
A warning from the past. If you think it can't happen again or happen here open your eyes!
Just be very careful of who you think most closely resembles the Nazis
@@dino0228 Any political party that supports and promotes the murder of children through abortion is the party that most closely resembles the Nazis. I believe every American knows which political party here in America that I am referring to.
I stand in union with my Catholic Christian brethren for the testimony of Jesus Christ, for the sanctity of our families, and for the dignity and human rights of all people. May we have the courage to speak out in FAITH, which is sustained by HOPE, and which is motivated by LOVE.
A remarkable person he was. I’d love to see a movie made about von Galen. The lecturer on the other hand was doing well until, I think, he stumbled at the end, attempting to draw parallels between Nazi Germany and modern US society. The battle references he makes (and in my own opinion, poorly correlates to winning a game of basketball) are in stark contrast to von Galen’s anvil, and more resemble the hammer. After von Galen’s sublime sermons, the lecturer’s words sounded like nails on a chalk board.
Getting back to von Galen, this video made me want to learn more about him. Now, part of me wishes I hadn’t. Though he was spot on and laudable in his righteousness against the Nazi regime (once the church started being attacked by them), a peek into his history reveals some rather troubling traits. His earlier opposition to democracy and his rather curious support of German nationalism and colonialism were the very sentiments that brought the Third Reich to power in the first place. Funny how we humans fail to see our own flaws and suddenly start to see things differently only when that which we sowed comes back to bite us (or in his case, the church) personally. As he once said in a moment of “uplift” after visiting German soldiers at the front in WWI, "Feelings of German nationalism, apparently, could triumph over concern for the violations of the sanctity of human life in war." He also bought the stab-in-the-back myth (as did Hitler) about why Germany lost that war. But, like so many, he was complex. I applaud his words, bravery, and sacrifice, but I won’t idolize him (in keeping with the first commandment).
"strong stubborn tough resistance"
I find it curious that he speaks of the right to life in one sentence and glorifies the German soldiers and the war in the next. I am not saying there can be no just wars, I just find it very curious that that particular war was, at least to us, obviously unjust in every way imaginable.
I think it must be a useful lesson for religious leaders to always carefully examine how and why wars are fought, for if you take an honest look at *most* wars you find that they are unjust.
I am not trying to insult that particular bishop, his courage is remarkable. I just feel like more could have been done, perhaps by others...

The first law they broke is the natural law against abuse, while this law is the ethical expression of God's will. The Nazis were causing illnesses like "torticollis" with their "treatment" of sane, mainly innocent people, calling this the "Sonderbehandlung". So most of those killed in the psychiatries before it were neither insane nor ill. To be of a different political opinion than the Nazis was considered to be a "mental illness". The natural law against abuse will protect all those strictly fasting, without smoking, drugs or other abusive forms of behaviour. They simply could not go for van Galen, blocked by a natural law. They were completely driven by opiates and amphetamines. On the other hand, God is so strictly against abuse that a child, who just loves poppy opiates because it loves the mother's poisoned milk, is not safe if there are drugged people around it who want to commit murder and kill a child in the name of whatsoever. They than can commit the injustice, because God does not want not even the smallest amount of abuse being tolerated or taught by us.
Opiates are switching ethics into forced abusiveness considering itself to be "holy". It is a programming by drugs. Some religions call this programming by the drug a "law".
Finally, we have a right to live and a right to die. Vegan people again know, why they would not even kill an animal, getting their vitamin B12 from Shitake mushrooms, if possible, or from the new artificial milk, if available.
We should not kill, but sometimes we must, following God's will against abuse.
If we aren't drugged, we aren't programmed. We therefore can choose between abusive behaviour or Gooood behaviour. The programmed ones can only choose between abuse and abuse.
There is one case letting me conclude to a certain obligation to kill for certain cases: If I can save 10 people who'd like to live without abuse against abuse by killing 1 person who is only drugged and abusive, without any will to stop it -- and if I do not kill this person, this person will kill the 10 better ones and me -- now, would I, regarded by God, kill or not?
Thank you for your speech. Please be careful entering today's new Germany. Now they have thousands of new extermination camps right behind the memorials for the last ones.
Believe it or not...now, what to do?
The natural law against abuse is already sending droughts, inundations, earthquakes and even a pandemic following the opiates and opioid pandemic...

What bothers me about this speakers carefully redacted version of history and censuring of details which wouldn't support his thesis (i.e. he mentions the bombings of Munster and other cities but doesn't mention that they were allied bombings, possibly to lead his listeners to conclude it was those evil Nazi's) is he and almost all others who cover these topics ignore the much greater crimes which were committed against Germans including innocent women, children and the elderly, the dispossessing of millions of their homes after the war, millions intentionally starved to death and left to freeze in Eisenhower's death camps and the mass raping and horrific murders of Catholic nuns and the clergy by "The good guys" which was led by the atheistic communist Russian mongrel forces with the blessing of Eisenhower under a plan masterminded by Henry Morgenthau and outlined in a book titled "Germany must perish". This man will not shed a tear or express any moral outrage over that much greater crime, the firebombing of Dresden (A refugee city of non-combatant Germans) resulted in 250-300k deaths as compared to the estimated (Now grossly inflated) 70k of those euthanized during WWII
Not true, lol. Himmler was a pagan, not h1tler. Nice try, though.
This reprobate did not stand against Hitler. In fact he's one of the cardinals who told German Catholic troops to fight under the Nazis for God and country. He basically told them that the German party was doing Gods will, and to defy it would be a sin against the church. It's funny how the papacy rewrites history decades after the fact. Von Galen could not have been beatifiied 40 years ago, as there were other Catholics alive who knew better, and actually protested against it at the time. This is obviously the antichrist papacy at work.
MORON.
