All he needed in the bunker was a priest, a wafer, some wine, and say a couple of Hail Mary’s and he went right to Heaven. (Isn’t that what Rome teaches?)

I’m not Catholic, but know enough to say you sound pretty silly and what you said is simply false.

Or a supposed change of heart and some formulaic recitation of such to be re-born in Christ.

Would you claim that all he needed to do was believe in Jesus and he’d go to heaven no matter how many Jews or Gypsies or priests he murdered? Or would you at least assume a man like that probably lacked any real faith?

No, no Catholic, has ever taught all he needed in the bunker was a priest, a wafer, some wine, and say a couple of Hail Mary’s and he’d go right to Heaven.

Not at all. But while we’re at it, don’t many Protestants think he just had to repent and call out to Jesus in his last second to be in Heaven right now? Besides don’t most believe he killed himself, which would be a Mortal Sin if I’m not mistaken.

>> All he needed in the bunker was a priest, a wafer, some wine, and say a couple of Hail Mary’s and he went right to Heaven. <<

By that same logic, if he were Protestant, he wouldn’t even need the priest, wafer, or wine. And he’d suffer absolutely no temporal consequences for his evil actions, either.
