Eternal God's finger?

After defying big, bald Nazi Realmbishop Dr. Ludwig Muller for months on a high and spiritual plane, the Opposition Pastors last week made a smart and worldly move.

They know that what Realmleader Adolf Hitler really wants is national church unity. He picked Dr. Mueller, a brash ex-Army chaplain, for the job of knocking Protestant heads together, and at that job the Realmbishop has notoriously failed. Last week the Opposition Pastors set about organizing their own national Protestant Administration, hoped that Der Fuelhrer may eventually accept it in preference to Knocker Mueller's. In alarm the Realmbishop thundered, "I shall hold the office which the Eternal God gave me until the Eternal God recalls me!"

It was Hitler who gave Mueller the Realmbishopric. That Hitler may take away what Hitler has given appeared not unlikely from a violent outburst by club-footed Minister of Propaganda & Public Enlightenment Dr. Paul Josef Goebbels. "The Protestant pastors have certainly given the Realmleader a pretty bad return for all his efforts to create one unified church in place of 28 State churches!" shouted Dr. Goebbels. "We will now take our finger out of the Protestant church struggle. The Protestant pastors are a lot of old women!"

If by "finger" Dr. Goebbels meant Dr. Mueller, Germany seemed headed toward Protestant peace.
