Alfred Delp, SJ was hanged as a traitor on Feb 2 1945 for his part in an anti-Nazi group. “The inner law of freedom sings that no death can kill us. Life is eternal.” My reflection in @GiveUsThisDayLP

The full story of Catholic resistance to the Nazis has yet to be told. Few know the names of Catholic martyrs, or that there was a special barracks for priests at Dachau, or that Catholicism (in part via writings of Cardinal Newman) was the inspiration of the White Rose movement.
