"Why did your church never excommunicate Hitler?"

Maybe because Hitler was not a Catholic.

Hitler was born and raised in a Catholic-in-name-only family. His father was his mother's half-uncle, if you can figure that inbreeding out. Hitler had no religious faith, except a mystical one in his own destiny. He wasn't a Catholic, he just grew up in a Catholic area, and he certainly never attended a Mass in all his adulthood. Any exposure he had to the Catholic Church couldn't reach him.

It's curious, Stalin was 9 years older than Hitler, and his mother had him placed in an Orthodox Christian seminary. But Stalin couldn't be reached either, and was no more interested in the Orthodox Christian faith than Hitler ever was in the Catholic Christian faith.
