- Title
Katholische Reaktionen auf das Luthergedenken im Jahr der Machtergreifung.

- Abstract
The article discusses Catholic reactions to and commentaries on the events surrounding the 450th anniversary of the birth of German Reformation theologian Martin Luther in 1933. The author highlights that much Catholic attention to the Protestant renegade ought not to have been expected and did in fact not occur. However, he examines several instances in which Catholics referenced Luther in 1933, including the views of excommunicated Catholic theologian Joseph Wittig, a movement within the Catholic Church in Germany that sought to bridge divisions between Protestants and Catholics by affirming Catholics' adherence to the tenets of National Socialism, and communications regarding Luther celebrations between the papal nuncio in Germany, Cesare Orsenigo, and the Vatican Secretary of State, Eugenio Pacelli.
