World Religion Quotes



The Second World War placed the Mormons in a dilemma whereby they had adherents on both sides of the conflict as was the case with the Catholic Church. Positions the church took on the behavior of the belligerents could cost the church its position and influence especially in Germany. The Catholic Church was more careful of offending the Nazis and did not speak out much against the worst of the atrocities. The Mormons in contrast saw the Nazis as the agents of Satan determined to exterminate the Jews so that they could not return to Israel which under Mormon (and some Protestant) prophesy was necessary to occur before the Second Coming.
