“Some people never learned how Hitler persecuted Catholics. Priests were a PARTICULAR thorn in his side.”

There was a program on the AHC about Hitler and it was saying that he was an alter boy and that his mother wanted him to go into the priesthood, I guess that’s why he hated the Catholics priests so much.

There is newsreel footage, since scrubbed from our memory, of catholic nuns being herded into death camps. The one I remember most has a few seconds of the nun, with the Flying Nun headgear, kindly and gently herding the children around her to their final destination as they were processed into the camp.

I'm not some kind of "junior sychiatrist," but it's well-known as a youth, Hitler was embittered both by the brutality of his father and by his failure to be accepted as an artist by the institutes of fine arts in Vienna. After Germany's crushing defeat in WWI, he developed a venomous paranoid "they-stabbed-us-in-the-back" attitude toward both Jews and Catholics, whom he saw as being united against authentic "Volkische" Germanism racially, culturally and politically.

One of the big influences on his was the German nationalist Georg Ritter von Schönerer, who advocated an anti-Semitic, anti-Slavic, and anti-Catholic "Pan-Germanism."

That's quite a leap in logic. He hated the priests because they told him that what he was doing in Germany was wrong. It WAS wrong and he knew it. THAT'S what angered him so much because THEY and HE both knew the truth: Hitler was Satan's buddy for those years.
Whodda thunk that Austria would produce such a beast?

LOTS of mothers would like their sons to become ALTAR boys but when they DON'T become ALTAR boys...they don't become "Hitlers." That is also faulty logic.
Not even Hitler wasn't so stupid as to hate ALL Catholic priests. No one is that stupid.
