Let's get real here because Hitler was a Roman Catholic to the day he died..."I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so," Hitler told Gerhard Engel, one of his generals, in 1941.

Yep. And most of Hitler's coterie were practicing Roman Catholics.

Authoritarianism appeals to some people.

Not to be to disagreeable, but I think they were much more into the occult. I agree the RCC made some very big mistakes leading up to the war, during the war and after the war, but wouldn't it be more accurate to ascribe those mistakes to the political nature of the RCC?

Prior to and during the initial stages of WWII they didn't know who would win and were hedging their bets. Their actions are almost always governed by "what's in the church's best interest".

EXCOMMUNICATED former Catholics "Dr", FORMER Catholics. See post 32.

Incorrect, "Doctor". In February 1931 the German Bishops excommunicated all Nazis and later directed all Catholics that they could not vote for a Nazi in the 1932 election. Lest you foolishly believe that Hitler considered himself to still be a Catholic I suggest you read "Hitler's Table Talk".

The kind of lies being told by some on this thread show the depth of ant-Catholic bigotry that exists even here. Facts matter not to the liars who hate.
