A concordat is nothing more than an attempt to negotiate a legal document to ensure the Church's ability to function lawfully and unmolested with its just liberties intact

They where in the same bed together while the Jews where being murdered.

from Catholic Encyclopedia

...just as all other laws when properly promulgated bind the people, so concordats, inasmuch as they take on the form of civil laws are binding on the citizens of the country, and particularly the state officials; so much so that any infringement of them is equivalent to a violation of the civil laws.

"They where in the same bed together while the Jews where being murdered."

Indeed. The bed was called "Europe."

Like Chamberlain and the British, right? Anyone who attempts to get his rights from a tyrant is somehow implicated in the tyrant's crimes?

Try telling the thousands of priests murdered at Dachau and throughout Poland that they were in the same bed as the Nazis. Try telling it to the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were aided by the Catholic Church, when no one else wanted to lift a finger. try telling it to Pinchas Lapide or Albert Einstein or Golda Meir.

...just as all other laws when properly promulgated bind the people, so concordats, inasmuch as they take on the form of civil laws are binding on the citizens of the country, and particularly the state officials; so much so that any infringement of them is equivalent to a violation of the civil laws.

Yep. So what?
