Recent political rhetoric as bad as 'Hitler in 1934', according to Pope Francis

The pope has called for a more united Europe, saying some of the recent political rhetoric is akin to Hitler’s comments as Nazi Germany rose in the 1930s.

The Pope says he is "concerned because we hear speeches that resemble those of Hitler in 1934" in the modern political debate.
