Remember, the top Nazi was Adolph Hitler. he was Catholic.

I am getting so tired of this BS. Hitler was no Catholic. He was everything that is anathema to Catholic teaching. He was NOT a Catholic. I do not care what he SAID he was, he was NOT a Catholic.

Nonsense. For the purpose of THIS comparison (if for no other), we have to accept that Hitler was at least a nominal Catholic, or had a reputation as having been a Catholic.

He sure wasn't a Protestant!

I suggest you go back to the beginning of this thread and read it through and see what was being claimed.

Then you come back here and tell me what you think.

At the moment you're just tossing an IGNANT epithet for no reason at all. If you're going to do that find a reason in the context of the thread.

Not only was Hitler no Catholic he had scorn for all Christianity. He had a project in progress to rewrite the bible to conform to his understanding of Aryan mythology with himself of course as the messiah-like figure.

We saw precursors to this in The Triumph of the Will, in which there is brilliantly conceived imagery of a profane wedding to parallel the wedding of Christ to his church.

What does it matter.

When discussing populations of millions, to point out an individual bad guy’s religious roots is pretty meaningless, Hitler was going to be born into a Catholic, or a Protestant family anyway, which one, is more a matter of trivia.

BTW, the TITLE OF THE THREAD is "Catholics [and Protestants] and the Nazi vote 1932"

That's the topic.

“Hitler was no Catholic.”

Yes, yes he was. Baptized Catholic. Fallen away, apostate, evil he was, but he was all of that after he was Catholic. Unlike our protestant “once saved, always saved” brethren, Catholics know that simply being Catholic is not enough for Eternal Salvation. Hitler chose to serve the world rather than the Word. It is very likely he is in Hell for Eternity, along with Lucifer and the Fallen Angels. But he certainly lived as a sinfilled, evil Catholic, fallen away and an enemy of the Church that wanted him to be a saint. Very sad.

Hitler was apostate Catholic, as was Goebbels.
