This article examines the political ideology of the Roman Catholic Church in Nazi Germany through the writings of Karl Adam and Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber. Both theologians used the dogma of the Immaculate Conception to disengage the Jewish roots of Christianity from any racial connection to post-biblical Judaism. At no time since the Holocaust has either theologian has been critiqued according to the context and reasoning of this presentation, which leads this article to question the validity of an authentic post-Shoah theology of the Catholic Church
