Father Wilhelm Senn and the Legacy of Brown Priests

Kevin P. Spicer

Stonehill College


  Abstract

How did Nazism attract some of those German Catholic clergy whose political sympathies lay with the right? The following biographical study documents how Father Wilhelm Maria Senn was drawn into the orbit of National Socialism; how this fact caused discomfort for many of Senn's parishioners, fellow clergymen, and Church superiors; and how Nazi nationalism, anti-liberalism, and antisemitism continued to pose temptations for other Catholic clergymen.*
