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.

Hitler claiming he "was a Catholic and would remain one" may have been technically true -- an excommunicate Catholic is still a Catholic.
We know Hitler was baptized as a Roman Catholic. While we can agree none of us knows anyone else's salvation but our own, from Campion's post we learn that because Hitler was baptized into the RCC, he remained a Catholic even if and when he was excommunicated.
Apparently, according to the RCC, even if someone excommunicates himself, he is still a Catholic.
Therefore, according to the RCC, Hitler remained a Roman Catholic for his entire life. Perhaps that's one reason for the RCC's passivity in the face of his evil. One among many.
