Pope Francis warns against rise in populism - BBC News
Excerpt:
Asked if he was worried about the rise of populism in Europe and the US, the Pope said: "Crises provoke fear, alarm. In my opinion, the most obvious example of European populism is Germany in 1933.
"Germany is broken, it needs to get up, to find its identity, a leader, someone capable of restoring its character, and there is a young man named Adolf Hitler who says: "I can, I can".
"And all Germans vote for Hitler. Hitler didn't steal the power, his people voted for him, and then he destroyed his people."
