The claim that Hitler was Catholic is just bogus. He may have been raised Catholic, but by the time he tookpower, he was as atheist as the Communists. And this author knows it.
Do you have a source for your claim?
The claim that Hitler was Catholic is just as bogus as the claim that he was a Darwinian. Hitler was the nexus of many historic and psychic currents. He was the focal point of an incredible flux of events that thrust him into a prominence that no one could have anticipated, and that the world still struggles to comprehend.
He was baptized as a Catholic. So was Teddy Kennedy, for what it's worth. You have little say in what happens when you are a child, I would love to see Mr. Dawkins give some concrete examples of Hitler's Catholicism as an adult.
“We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out”. Adolf Hitler
“For their interests [the Church's] cannot fail to coincide with ours [the National Socialists] alike in our fight against the symptoms of degeneracy in the world of today, in our fight against a Bolshevist culture, against atheistic movement, against criminality, and in our struggle for a consciousness of a community in our national life”. Adolf Hitler
Your efforts are pointless.
Some think that by reading scripture, or attending church makes one a Christian and so forth.
Hitler read some scripture to the masses at Nuremberg, therefore he was a Catholic.
It’s basically the Daily Kos just oozing off their reservation.
“The claim that Hitler was Catholic is just bogus. He may have been raised
Catholic, but by the time he tookpower, he was as atheist as the Communists.
And this author knows it.”
Maybe not.
If the author has been hangin’ with Bill Clinton or Maureen Dowd.
You Mean Hitler Wasn’t A Priest?
