How Catholic was Hitler?

[Mr.wizard]

Why do you think taking Catholicism seriously would have prevented Hitler from doing terrible things? Look at the numerous Catholic priests who molest the children in their own congregation, pretty sure they where serious Catholics.

It would prevent Hitler from doing the sort of terrible things he did such as.

1. Living in sin with Eva Braun.

2. Having a massive military brothel system for his soldiers on the eastern front, endangering their souls and harming the souls and bodies of thousands of Polish and Soviet women.

3. Requisitioning the Paris brothels. A tawdry tid bit of WW2 history is that the German officers requisitioned all the high-class brothels and Paris, and denied the Frenchmen any access to those shameless trashy women who worked in those institutions. I don't recall a single instance where the Wehrmacht officers decided to make decent women out of them.

4. Killing many Polish Priests, and religious. If the Nazis gave a darn about their immortal souls why would they persecute such men (and women of God)

5. Killing Edith Stein. This is one Jewess who saw the light. Yet the light did not save her from Hitler's darkness:

6. Generally showing a cruel,grotesque disregard for human life and the dignity of the human person.

There are many many more violation of Catholic dogma he commited. Will be providing them soon

I don't doubt that he violated some Catholic doctrine that is not the point, the question is can you be a Catholic and do terrible things. I pointed out the Catholic priests as examples of devout Catholics doing terrible things. Catholic Dogma does not say that "if you don't adhere to the doctrine then you are not catholic", it actually has the built in loophole of confession so you can absolve yourself of wrong doing and stay in Gods good graces.
