How Catholic was Hitler?

[Anomalocaris]

Catholic enough for German cardinals to give Nazi salutes and the Pope to see him as someone without enough objectionable qualities to openly challenge, much less excommunicate, as an earlier pope did to Napoleon.


But to pose the question properly so we are clear as who was trying to please and fit in with who, we should not ask how Catholic was Hitler.   The proper question is how Nazi was the Catholic Church.    

Certainly it was not as if Hitler the little man needed to fit in a great and universal church.  It was the cowering little church that was desperately trying to make sure it did fit in with the third Reich.   You would be very wrong to think God's viceroy on earth and heir to St. Peter would have dared to incur the ire of Hitler by saying Der Fuhrer was not catholic enough.

"Cowering Little Church"?!? FFS man, look at the damage that that institution has done to people over the millenia! The RCC is a monster that needs eradicating. Of course, if you were an advocate of population control, and had an idea of which population needed controlling... :raised brow:

Tells you a lot how overreaching in its claim of moral authority and overarchingly abusive the church inevitably always was whenever it had free rein, and yet what sniveling and favor currying coward it becomes when confronted by an bullying evil matching its own.
