Hitler was Catholic by birth. He even became an altar boy. I read the little article twice now. Granted the Catholic church might wait until all holocaust victims are dead but I'm still wondering why the catholic church would make pope Pius a saint. What was his "miracle?" What did he do besides being a pope in one of the most if not the most bloody times on the planet?

Am I off track presidio9? If so, bring me back on track and tell me where I've strayed. I'll read, listen and learn.

Found the reference. The German bishops excommunicated all the Nazi party leaders in February 1931.

Hitler wasn't a Catholic (he was baptized by his parents, and they made him be an altar boy, but there's no record of him ever being confirmed and he quit going to Mass as a teenager), but he would fall under that excommunication even if he still had been one at the time.
