Technically he was baptized Catholic but was he Catholic...not so much.

According to the RCC, Hitler's baptism made him a Roman Catholic and a member of the church of God. Period.

According to the Catholic Church, Hitler’s sinful life and paganism cut his relationship with God and His Church. Period.

And the same would be true for any other man who lived as he did.

I believe that is what my statement said if you read it. He was Catholic by his baptism. But he was excommunicated latae sententiae.

Interesting that so many want to make the thread about Catholicism when the thread is about Martin Luther creating a culture open to Nazism. I have only seen a couple of posts attempting to refute what the author has to say. I realize in most cases posters have never actually read what the author proposes and are posting knee-jerk responses like “Hitler was a Catholic” and “the Pope was Nazi supporter”, but I would have expected a bit more about why the guy is wrong from some of the more learned religion posters.
