	Catholic League (German) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Catholic League (1609-1635) was a confederation of Catholic German states formed in order to counteract the Protestant Union.
		The founder of this league, and its first commander, was Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria.
		The League managed to defeat the Protestants in the Battle of White Mountain 1620 during the first phase of the war.

		The German Empire of 1871–1918 was often known as the second Reich to indicate its descent from the medieval empire.
		Between 1152 and 1190, during the reign of Frederick I (Barbarossa), of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, an accommodation was reached with the rival Guelph party by the grant of the duchy of Bavaria to Henry the Lion, duke of Saxony.
		The German government encouraged the population of the Ruhr to passive resistance: shops would not sell goods to the foreign soldiers, coal-mines would not dig for the foreign troops, trams in which members of the occupation army had taken seat would be left abandoned in the middle of the street.

	German Literature
		During the ninth and tenth centuries German poetry fell into neglect; at the courts of the Saxon (919-1024) and Franconian emperors (1024-1125) and in the monasteries the Latin language was almost exclusively cultivated, and thus a body of Latin poetry arose, of which the tenth-century "Waltharius" (Waltharilied) of Ekkehard, a monk of St. Gall (d.
		Its effect on the German language was enormous; the dialect in which it is written, a Middle German dialect used in the chancery of Upper Saxony, became gradually the norm for both Protestant and Catholic writers, and is thus the basis of the modern literary German.
		The German language was neglected and devised in aristocratic circles and was corrupted by the influx of foreign words.

	German Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German Empire (German: Deutsches Kaiserreich) is the name conventionally given in English to the German state from the time of the proclamation of William I of Prussia as German Emperor (January 18, 1871) to the abdication of William II (November 9, 1918).
		Following the incorporation of the Catholic German states in the south and the former some areas in the east, Catholicism, represented by the Catholic Centre Party, was seemingly the principal threat to unification process.
		Southern Catholics, hailing from a much more agrarian base and falling under the ranks of the peasantry, artisans, guildsmen, clergy, and princely aristocracies of the small states more often than their Protestant counterparts in the North, initially had trouble competing with industrial efficiency and the opening of outside trade by the Zollverein.

	German (Catholic) League
		The organization of the coalition, the raising of a confederate army, the apportionment of the contributions to the alliance, and the enlistment of foreign mercenaries, were the questions under discussion.
		The object of the League was now declared "eine christlich rechtmässige Defension." The division of leadership did not conduce to increasing the League's power, while, by Austria's accession, it became entangled in her difficulties, already very threatening in her hereditary domains.
		This superiority at once helped the League to a diplomatic victory over the Union, with which an agreement was come to, whereby, during the war in Austria and Bohemia, hostilities betwecn the parties of both alliances in Germany should cease.

		A confederacy of the Catholic states of the Empire in Germany.
		In 1611 the league won the support of Spain and the Pope, and began to gather an army, but its foundation was shaken by the formation in 1617 of a separate confederation of Bamberg, Eichstadt, W¨rzburg and the Provost of Ellwangen by Archduke Maximilian of Austria, a war-director of the league.
		However, in 1619, the league was reconstructed in two groups: the Rhenish under the Elector of Mainz, Archbishop John Cronenburg (1604-1626); and the Oberland under Bavaria.

	Catholic Educator's Resource Center: Persecution
		Catholics know that once it is denied that the Church can teach authoritatively through its foundation in Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in matters of faith and doctrine, one is reduced to a faith of his or her own creation.
		A student of Ignaz von Dollinger, a German priest who would leave the Church over the definition of infallibility, Acton’s primary contribution to the Council was his attempt to undercut it by convincing secular governments to interfere.
		In fact, most 19th century Catholics clearly accepted the infallibility of the pope and the divisions at the Council concerned the necessity and extent of a formal definition.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Pius XII and the Jews: Greatness dishonored
		Shortly after, Catholic and Jewish protests to the play were forgotten, and the play turned out to be only the first in a long series of subsequent artistic plays, books, movies and television productions which gave negative presentations of Pius XII's actions.
		Even prominent Catholic writers started attacking his conduct, and the wheel has turned so much that now Pius XII is even accused of being anti Jewish and pro-Nazi, and that the Nazis welcomed his election as Pope (which we have seen is not true).
		And in the history of this debate it has not only been interested Catholics who have defended the Pope, but also many Jews who have wished to uphold the good name of Pius XII and defend his actions at this torrid time in their history.

	Papal Sin is Palpable Nonsense
		Influenced by the dominant secular culture, they see anti-Catholicism as a product of enlightened thought, rather than an inherited prejudice.1 Worse still, by the very nature of their Catholic background, their remarks gain a certain cachet in secular circles that would otherwise ignore them if the source were non-Catholic.
		We begin with the “Uncle Pats.”2 These are Catholics who find Catholic beliefs and practices embarrassing in an age of enlightened secularism.
		They adopt a literal interpretation of Scripture and fling epithets at Catholic beliefs worthy of a 19th-century nativist.3 Curiously, one rarely finds Catholic converts from another Christian faith that behave in such a fashion toward their former denomination.

	Quick Questions (This Rock: September 2004)
		The status of the SSPX is similar to that of the Orthodox churches that went into schism centuries ago, but the SSPX’s schismatic status is more serious because that schism is recent (1988) and thus more formal for its adherents than it is for Christians who have lived for centuries under Orthodoxy.
		When no valid, licit Catholic Mass is available, one is exempted from the Sunday obligation, so there is no need to try to fulfill that obligation at an SSPX chapel.

		It is, however, true that Urban did not subsidize the imperial army and the Catholic League as liberally as he could and should have done.
		Urban did not join the League of the Catholic Estates, which was planned by the emperor, as the League was directed not only against Gustavus Adolphus, but also against France; hence it could not be joined by the pope as the common father of Catholics.
