Reactionary Germany's relationship with Catholics

If a reactionary Prussian Junker-dominated regime took power in Germany instead of the Nazis, how would it treat German Catholics? Would it just continue the status quo of the Weimar Republic or the late Second Reich? Could it end up launching a Second Kulturkampf? If it did, would that kill support for Anschluss in Austria? Would an anti-Catholic Junker regime even want Anschluss? I know it that persecuting Catholics would not bring any benefits to Germany, but I think it it plausible that the Junkers would notice how pro-French the Alsatians were, and feel that all Catholics in the Rhineland were a potential fifth column due to that.
