What dose anything you have posted have to do with the fact that Hitler was in no way recognizable as a Catholic?

Oh, let me think--I've got it: a couple of dozen quotes from Hitler's speeches in which a affirms the nazi intention to carry out the agenda of the Catholic church. Dozens of private quotes in which he contrasts his own catholicism with lutheranism, & various other similar remarks. Several extracts from respected autobiographies. Uncontested references to the undisputed fact that he was born, and spent most of his life as a baptized catholic. As for Hitler being "unrecognizable" as a Catholic, I'd remind you that the Pope who genocided the anabapists was a catholic, and so was Torquiemada.

So, since Bill Clinton talked about being a Christian, carried a Bible and quoted from it, was born one, was seen singing in the choir, and went to church every Sunday, does that mean he was a Christian? Even though he didn't lead a "Christian life"?

Face it, even IF your quotes exist (links to them would be a nice change), tyrants have misused religion for political purposes for millennia.

And since you have, shall we say, "moved away" from your "Pius the Silent" slur, can we now take it that you admit the numbers posted (around 800,000) are true?

The Hillside Stangler was a supposed Catholic the Son of Sam was born a Jew, let me see all the mass serial killers that were born into an organized religion for pete's sake The DEVIL himself at one point was an Angel in Heaven until he wore his welcome out and was thrown out with his own un-godly behavior yes there are evil and there has been evil in the world so what the heck is your point regarding Jesus and the movie "The Passion" ?

One last time, Hitler was a psychopath who used any angle he had at his disposal to advance his wicked agenda. Your inability to discern this simple fact is sad.

If he was truly Catholic, devout and believing, why didn't he outlaw all other religions and declare the Catholic Church the State Church of Nazi Germany. He could have, he certainly had the power and will to do such things.
