Unfortunately organized religion itself (Catholics included) played an ugly role itself in that whole Nazi thing. There is no end to how cruel we humans can be, perhaps that is why we'll always need religion.
Distrust of organized religion is here to stay and I'm not sure that's a bad thing...we'll always need to belong somewhere and faith communities still do as good a job as any group at welcoming the stranger. People want to be taken seriously, they want to know how to make the world a better place for all people. Some faith communities are working on that, and those are the ones that will succeed.
