"Bishop Alois Hudal, in charge of German Catholics in Rome, approved the Nuremberg racial laws, noting that they "constituted a necessary measure of self-defense against the influx of foreign elements. The Church itself in its particular tenant, stated the prelate, maintained a radical position in relation to the Jewish question, until the walls of the ghettod were demolished in the 19th century, primarily by the Liberal State, and not by the Church." For this reason, "From this point of view, no objection could be made to laws containing discriminatory provisions against the Hebrews." he added: "The principles of the modern State (based on the rule of equal treatment for all before the law), were created by the Revolution French, and do not reveal themselves to be ideal from the point of view of Christianity or nationality."
