The Catholic Church celebrated in Germany the beatification of Richard Henkes, a priest who was an outspoken critic of the Third Reich during the 30s and 40s and who died of typhus while ministering to the sick at the Dachau concentration camp.
Henkes was ordained in 1925 and gained a reputation in the 30s for his criticism of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. The Gestapo arrested Henkes and put him on trial in 1938, but he was ultimately released. He continued to advocate against the Nazi regime in sermons and encouraged school students to question Nazi ideology.His own order of priests banished him and sent him to obscure postings multiple times to distance themselves from his criticisms.
