	Clemens August Graf von Galen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blessed Clemens August Graf von Galen (1878-1946), German count, Bishop of Münster, and cardinal of the Holy Roman Church.
		Cardinal von Galen belonged to one of the oldest og most distinguished noble families of Westphalia, and was born in the catholic, southern part of the Duchy of Oldenburg (Oldenburger Münsterland), on the Burg Dinklage.
		He was son of Count Ferdinand Heribert von Galen, a member of the German parliament for the Catholic Centre Party, and Elisabeth von Spee.

	Bishop von Galen
		Clemens August Graf von Galen, Bishop of Münster from 1933 until his death in 1946, is renowned for his opposition to Nazism, most notably for his public preaching in 1941 against Hitler’s euthanasia project to rid the country of sick, elderly, mentally retarded, and disabled Germans.
		This provocative and revisionist biographical study of von Galen views him from a different perspective: as a complex figure who moved between dissent and complicity during the Nazi regime, opposing certain elements of National Socialism while choosing to remain silent on issues concerning discrimination, deportation, and the murder of Jews.
		She discloses the reasons for von Galen’s public denunciation of the euthanasia project and the ramifications of his openly defiant stance.

	BGSU -- The Monitor -- Griech-Polelle book refutes image of bishop as ‘larger-than-life’ resister in Nazi ...
		Because von Galen’s name kept coming up in her reading, she thought he was a “larger-than-life resister,” but finding no elaboration on what he had done, she felt his legacy merited closer examination.
		He was brave in many respects, she said, noting that he risked his life in the summer of 1941 by delivering a sermon that took the Nazis to task for a euthanasia campaign in which they killed 70,000-80,000 of their own sick, elderly, disabled and mentally retarded people.
		The reasons were both internal and external, according to Griech-Polelle, who notes that von Galen had the education, the aristocratic background and the access to high political figures—in short, the clout—to break ranks had he chosen to do so.

	H-Net Review: John S. Conway on Bischof Clemens August Graf von Galen: Akten, Briefe und Predigten, 1933-1946
		Bishop Galen is now best remembered for his outspoken sermons of July and August 1941 denouncing the crimes of the Gestapo, especially the murder of thousands of German mentally handicapped patients in specially controlled mental hospitals during the so-called euthanasia programme.
		Galen was appointed bishop, at the age of fifty-five, in September 1933 (which is where the documents in these volumes begin), and set himself the task of building up his diocese, with the result that Muenster became even more the heartland of "fl reaction," as his Nazi opponents viewed it.
		Galen wanted a much more forceful and public confrontation against these encroaching impertinences, and sought to rally the faithful of his diocese to be on their guard against all such attempts to strangle Church life and institutions.

	'Bishop von Galen: German Catholicism and National Socialism' by Beth A. Griech-Polelle - Poetry Connection
		Clemens August Graf von Galen, Bishop of Munster from 1933 until his death in 1946, is renowned for his opposition to Nazism, most notably for his public preaching in 1941 against Hitler's euthanasia project to rid the country of sick, elderly, mentally retarded, and disabled Germans.
		In the last fifty years it has become clear that despite special pleading by Catholics and others the record shows that the Catholic Church (in Germany and elsewhere) did very little if anything to help Jews pursued by the Nazi genocidal design.
		With this nuanced and informative study one can see and understand the many forces pulling on von Galen without completely excusing his inaction in the face of the Holocaust.

		It is a particular pleasure to unite myself spiritually to you in the celebration of the centenary of the birth of Hans Urs von Balthasar, the noted Swiss theologian whom I had the joy to know and meet frequently.
		I think that his theological reflection maintains intact, to this day, a profound timeliness and leads many to penetrate ever more in the profundity of the mystery of faith, held by the hand of such an authoritative guide.
		The example that von Balthasar has left us is rather that of an authentic theologian who had discovered in contemplation the coherent action in favor of Christian witness in the world.
