How Catholic was Hitler?

[CatholicDefender]

OK. You have defeated me.

I suppose it is true that a depressingly large percentage of the Catholic hierarchy either supported Hitler or quietly tolerated him. Practically zero condemned him outright, and when they did only for specific things, such as euthanasia or removing crucifixes from public schools. The latter bit makes me think the Nazis were somewhat like democrats.

I guess Hitler technically was a Catholic, albeit an extremely sinful and (I believe) cynical one.

I suppose I just asked the question because people seem to think that Catholicism and Catholics were intrinsically on his side. That was not the case.

There were plenty of devout people who were opposed to him as Im sure you'd know.
