Heydrich/Madagascar

[NZAUST]

Was it Heydrich who instigated the Madagasca plan? Also, was it the Catholic church, that was a driving force behind anti-Jewish policies, don't forget they promoted the Jewish blood slur until the 1960's After all, a Catholic Bishop in the Vatican told a group of SS men (1945/6) that they had nothing to be ashamed of (Vatican Christmas meal under Bishop Hudal).
