It had more to do with traditional church politics than communism. Social Democrats were also opposed to communism, but they didn't have a role for the Church in their style of government.

And being totally honest, I think the Church kind of sided with the Nazis by default. They'd already backed Mussolini and Franco; they really couldn't have backed anyone else in Germany but Franco's and Mussolini's allies/analogs.
