"Dissolution of the Union of Catholic Germans" [Arbeitsgemeinschaft Katholischer Deutscher].
The Reich-leadership of the Party announces the self dissolution of the Union of Catholic Germans:
Since the Reich Party Leadership through its department for spiritual peace increasingly and immediately administers, all cultural problems and those concerning the relationship of State and Churches, the tasks at first delegated to the Union of Catholic Germans are now included in those of the Reich Party Leadership in the interest of a stronger coordination.
Vice-Chancellor von Papen, up to now the Leader of the Union of Catholic Germans, declared about the Dissolution of this organization that it was done upon his suggestion, since the attitude of the National Socialist State toward the Christian and Catholic Church had been explained often and unequivocally through the leader and chancellor himself.
Announcement of the dissolution of the Union of Catholic Germans (on von Papen's recommendation), since religious issues were now under the jurisdiction of the NSDAP party leadership
