Description: The life of Count Clement August von Galen, Bishop of Munster who spoke out against the policies of the Nazis.
Library : Faith and Fatherland - Catholic Culture Bishop August von Galen Opponent of Nazi Germany Count Clement August von Galen, Bishop of Munster under Hitler, spoke out fearlessly against the evil policies and crimes of the Nazis. On October 9, 2005 he was beatified in St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Benedict XVI hailed his "heroic courage'' and described the churchman, who condemned anti-Semitism, as a model for those in public roles today. The Pope said "This is precisely the ever-current message of Blessed von Galen: faith is not reduced to a private sentiment, perhaps something to hide when it becomes inconvenient, but implies coherence and witness even in the public sphere in defense of man, of justice, of truth."
