If he'd won the war the church would have made him a saint.
Yea and no, Min: yes, Hitler was as you say it "an epitome of Catholicism" but it was that old, evil and barbaric Catholicism before Nostra aetate and Vatican 2 in 1962 when they rejected anti-Semitic doctrines. It's brand new Cathos now, that is clearly enclosed from the old bad one with love toward everyone, especially children. I mean really Min, inform yourself.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
