When was Hitler excommunicated?

The first time he committed or instigated a violent act against a priest or religious (1934, for sure, but maybe before then), OR the first time he stole or intentionally destroyed church property (1939, if not earlier), OR the first time he authorized or promoted, or forced an abortion for anyone (Jews and Poles were victimized by forced abortion during the Holocaust), he was excommunicated automatically, according to canon law.

Excommunicating someone who hasn't set foot in a Catholic church for 20+ years doesn't really accomplish much, though.

[Campion]

Hitler may have been a Catholic at one time, but he was ex communicated by the Pope!

The Pope never formally excommunicated him; he didn't need to, the law did it automatically.

Excommunicating a layperson by name is very rare. I doubt it has been done since the time of Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi? Oh yeah, she's practically SSPX.

This statement reminds me of Blacks who call other Blacks Oreos or Uncle Toms.

I've met all types of religious people, those who related closer to general population always struck me as more normal. To be able to sit down with one, have a drink, and discuss real life alway gave me faith.

To think that there are any of these people out there who wouldn't see Pelosi for what she is, obviously is disturbing. We hear enough of the excuses crap game from the Leftists. We are what we are and just pray that Dashole et al. are able to keep control the Leftists.

Nancy Pelosi mouths the words "conservative Catholic" as little more than a throw-away phrase to balance her true persona as a "liberal Democrat" which she rightly perceives to be a negative for many Americans. On a major tenet of the Catholic religion, so important it's literally a matter of life and death, she clearly reveals she has no faith except for socialism. I have far more respect for a devout atheist than one who flaunts religion merely to gain the acceptance of others. Once again, the Democrats demonstrate an astonishing propensity to choose leaders who lack integrity and character.

You are right. I read this in a Cathilic web site, KiwiCatholic.Com

Whether Hitler was personally formally excommunicated doesn't matter - the whole purpose of excommunication is to help the sinner recognize the seriousness of his sins so he will seek forgiveness and return to the Church. To someone like Hitler, who didn't believe in the truth of Christianity, excommunication would be of no concern. He had already put himself outside of the Church.

Pelosi again claimed to be a "conservative Catholic" on The Today Show this morning, in an interview with Matt Lauer. It sparked quite an animated thread:

Pelosi! Kerry! Kennedy! All should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Conservative?? Who is she kidding?

[Fair Paul]

It's the liberal mindset: I will say what I need to further whatever my political agenda of the moment is. If I need to say I am an Orthodox Jew five minutes later so be it.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (JTA) -- A congresswoman was in the middle of her speech at an American Israel Public Affairs Committee luncheon in San Francisco last December when an alarm went off.

Fearing a possible terrorist attack, jittery attendees were rushing out of the room when they suddenly heard Hatikvah, Israel's national anthem.

It was the non-Jewish speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was reciting the hopeful lyrics in English. The crowd was stunned.

``She is connected to the Jewish community," said Sam Lauter, a pro-Israel activist in San Francisco. ``It comes from her soul."

Pelosi described her new job as such, "Win back the House".

Is she working for America, Dashole, Clinton, or the Leftists?

[Notwithstanding]

The only thing about her that seems the least bit conservative is that she has 5 kids (as I understand it).

Having 5 kids, however, does not make one a conservative (even though now-a-days most younger people with 5 kids probably areconservative).

I would guess that Pelosi was fairly traditional, had her 5 kids, then sort of morphed into a feminazi socialist.

Ever wonder if all of the inner city children the Leftists covered under government programs might have been "engineered" by design for a new socialist era?

[ninenot]

Well, then ping UltimaRatio and Maximilian. I am certain they will want to know that Pelosi is a co-religionist.

[Rockitz]

Uncanny... Let's hope she provides the same kind of leadership for the Democratic party. LOL

[NYer]

Is she working for America, Dashole, Clinton, or the Leftists?

None of the above. Pelosi impresses me as a barracuda - out for herself. Can't wait to see how she handles herself with Hitlary. I'm betting there will be lots of clawing and scratching behind closed doors.
