Feel free! Just don't put their ghost province adjacent to anything, and they won't be able to be invaded.
AllThat4Nothing said:that whole "protestant reichbishop" is really casting protestants in a bad light...
also Hitler was against organized religion in any form, Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise. He tried to censor Protestant German organizations just as much as he did German Catholic. Hitler believed the religion of German should be very neo-pagan, and uniquely German. I do not think Hitler would ever have condoned the reestablishment of the Papal States nor would he if given the opportunity to decide, would he allow the Papacy to exist as we know it. With so many Catholics in the world, the Pope would be a force to reckon with on the international and moral scene if he so chose to be in oppostion to Hitler.

So, they wouldn't destroy it

Ayeshteni said:Not sure I agree with this. Yes the Vatican supported the Fascists in Italy (and later Germany) but while the Papal States ended in the late 19th Century, the Vatican City was still 'Independent'.
Germany Catholic? They are mostly Lutheran and the NASDAP tried to ban Christianity (certainly curtailed it).

That's putting it mildly. I almost cringe every time I read the text of Pius' congratulatory message to Franco. Victory of Catholic Spain indeedPassivocalia said:I know I should look over the "Recognition of Franco" one. It's difficult because Pius XI wasn't too fond of the Nationalists, while Franco grew on Pius XII over time.
