Aug. 10, 1934 Pro-Nazi priest Abbot Albanus Schachleiter, O.S.B. meets with Hitler.
Excerpts from Cardinal Faulhaber’s report to Cardinal Pacelli about the meeting
Cardinal Faulhaber’s report to Cardinal Pacelli about Abbot Schachleiter’s meeting with Hitler on Aug. 10, 1934:
Your Eminence!
For the current negotiations about the Reich Concordat, the following report may be important. On August 10th Abbot Schachleiter was with Reich Chancellor Hitler in Munich. When the Abbot remarked that the pastoral letter of the German Bishops had been banned by the police, the Reich Chancellor literally threw up both hands above his head and said, “I had wanted that pastoral letter to be read aloud from every pulpit...”
A few hours ago I had a conversation with Herr State Secretary Hofmann, the new State Secretary in Munich for the Reich’s Governor of Bavaria; he is a practicing and earnest Catholic man, who told me: Several days ago he was at Obersalzburg with Führer and Reich Chancellor Hitler, who openly said he was waiting for an answer from Rome: “I bent over backwards in the negotiations with the Bishops, going as far as I could...” State Secretary Hofmann had the impression that the Herr Reich Chancellor greatly desired to reach agreement in the negotiations.
