In this episode of political saints, Fr. Daniel Utrecht of the Toronto Oratory and Jacob Imam discuss the life of Blessed Clemens August Graf von Galen. Blessed Clemens was bishop of Münster, Germany during the rise of the Nazi party. He published numerous condemnations of the Nazi regime and helped draft Pope Pius XI's anti-Nazi encyclical Mit brenneder Sorge. In 1946, he was made a cardinal of the Church. On October 9th, 2005, Clemens was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI.
