From the Wikipedia article on the Concordat:

"Anthony Rhodes regarded Hitler's desire for a Concordat with the Vatican as being driven principally by the prestige and respectability it brought to his regime abroad whilst at the same time eliminating the opposition of the Centre party."

But it was obvious from Hitler's behavior immediately following the signing that he had no intention whatsoever of abiding by it.

How did the concordat that the Vatican made with Nazi Germany help Hitler in his push for world domination?

So you're doing question 6b in the Revvo book :) Hitler was a catholic, and put into power by the Vatican so that he would sign a concordat with them. From what I understand...the concordat (agreement) gave the vatican/roman catholics certain priveliges and protection. and so in return, the vatican gave support to Hitler. I could be wrong, but I think it's something along those lines.


What did the Catholic church promise in the Concordat of 1933?

Aside from a lot of consulting with the government, etc. Most of the promises were by the Nazi's and most of those important promises were subsequently broken by them. The only specific article I can see that the Church promised was: Article 16 specified that Bishops must take an oath of loyalty and respect the government whilst ensuring their clergy did the same.
