You know shotgunning (former)bears could be dangerous, as they're known to be armed themselves.

After a group of StarCraft II beta testers reported technical difficulties following the installation of NVIDIA driver update 196.75, Blizzard tech support found that the update introduced fan control problems that were causing video cards to overheat in 3D applications. "This means every single 3D application (i.e. games) running these drivers is going to be exposed to overheating and in some extreme cases it will cause video card, motherboard and/or processor damage. If said motherboard, processor or graphic card is not under warranty, some gamers are in serious trouble playing intensive games such as Prototype, World of Warcraft, Farcry 3, Crysis and many other games with realistic graphics." NVIDIA said they were investigating the problem, took down links to the new drivers, and advised users to revert to 196.21 until the problem can be fixed.

First off this is NOT a defense of the pope, Nazis or Catholics.
But from what I've seen in documentaries, not joining Hitler's Youth Party in those days was the equivalent of joining say the communist party instead of the boy scouts in the 50'es.
And Hitler wasn't particularly fond of the classic religions, he was more into the occult, so the Catholic Church had to either do as he wished or find somewhere else preach and leave their earthly possessions behind.
