This address, in its summary, represents an extraordinary attack against the German Reich and is kept in a clear and unambiguous fore. Introductory, the bishops go from the alleged danger in which the Catholic Church in Germany and its faithful are located and declare that the struggle has entered a new phase and has perhaps reached the final stage. Literally, it is said: "Today, in the midst of the tremendous struggle for religion, Christianity and the Church, we cling to the rock of Peter. In unbreakable unity with the Roman throne, we will also lead the Church to victory in Germany." 10/ Cn
