Hitchenswatch-auteur commentarieert

More interestingly, I think, Hitchens, responding to D’Souza’s challenge about fascism in Europe, began an intense assault on the Catholic Church. He said that “there was nothing secular about the fascist right-wing” arguing that “up to 50% of Nazis were Catholics”. He said that characters like Mussolini and Salazar were Catholic right wingers and then, for good measure, Hitchens added that Adolf Hitler praised the Catholic Church in Mein Kampf.D’Souza disagreed by asserting that “Hitler hated Christianity” and “surrounded himself with atheists.”

(I personally think the truth is somewhere in between.)

Ad temperantiam. Verkeerdelijk denken dat de waarheid 'in het midden' ligt. Variaties zijn doodgewone ontkenningen, die de ad temperantiam een stevigere richting geven. Mijn cursivering.
