between the Catholic Church and the Nazi Party as the Nazi's viewed the Catholic Church as a significant power to block the expansion of Communism. The agreement was that the Nazis would not interfere/act against the Church and the Church wouldn't comment on politics
that all changed in 1937 (i think) when the nazi party moved and began arresting priests. The Vatican responded with an encyclical entitled "With burning anxiety" which was written in German and read from the German pulpits. this began the slide from uneasy agreement to outright action against the Church. The Nazis arrested and sent almost 3000 priests to Dachau. They dissolved all monasteries and abbeys and those ended up in the hands of the Nazis.
