Karl Eschweiler

Karl Eschweiler (5 September 1886 – 30 September 1936) was an academic Catholic theologian in Germany, who, as a so-called brown priest, publicly promoted cooperation and reconciliation between the church and the Nazi regime from 1933 onwards. He believed that a dictatorship would benefit the church, as it would stem the tide of secularist modernism that he saw as eroding the church’s authority. Provided by Wikipedia
