One wonders whether our German bishop – devoted (at least in his own mind) to the greater good of Germany, who refused to have “the common good” reduced to “a single issue” of “what to do about the Jews,” and who styled himself in favor of “collaboration” rather than “confrontation” – whether that bishop would have reassured himself, saying: “I am certain no one will look back fifty years from now and say about me, ‘What kind of bishop would have prided himself on being a collaborator with a government that accelerated the murder of millions?’” Indeed, what, I wonder, would Bishop McElroy say in retrospect about such poor, deluded foolishness?
