| Summary: | The founding of the Christian Democratic Party in the immediate post-1945 years owed much to the growing together of Germany's two major denominations as a result of the Nazis' persecution. But there were major differences of opinion within the Protestant community, particularly between the survivors of the Confessing Church and the upholders of a more Lutheran-centered viewpoint. One of the central issues which divided Protestants was their assessment - both as a cause and a result - of German Catholicism. Even though the Confessing Church council issued its Darmstadt Declaration of August 1947 which had a nationalist and conservative orientation, nevertheless several prominent members of this group, such as Martin Niemöller, adopted a strongly anti-Catholic and national Protestant stance. This created obstacles to an fully ecumenical relationship. Leading figures of the new CDU, such as Hermann Ehlers, recognized the need to make careful differentiation. |
