I’ll ask again .
Hitler was born and baptized a Roman Catholic .
Roman Catholics claim once a Catholic always a Catholic .
Why was he not excommunicated ?

Joseph Goebbels was born a Roman Catholic too .
Why did the Roman Catholic church not excommunicate him either?

BTW one of the first things Hitler did was round up the Protestant pastors that did not agree with him. And Hitler put a lot of Protestants in the camps too and killed a lot of them so don’t give me a lame excuse that he killed Catholics too . He killed a lot of people .None of which changes the fact that Hitler was not excommunicated .

You show ignorance of excommunication along with your other factual problems.

Should Hitler have still been in the Church, he would have been excommunicated latae sententiae under several canon laws, not the least of which is killing clerics and jews.

However, he left the Church long before his rise to power. You don’t bring someone who has left the Church back into the Church to tell them they can’t participate in communion in the Church when they are not participating in communion or the Church.

In short, your point is nonsense.

This map shows the influence of religious conviction on the Nazi vote for the Reichstag election 7/32. Elevation represents the share of Catholics / protestants (the higher, the more Catholics live in a Kreis) in relation to total population. The Nazi vote share is represented by different color shadings (dark red: highest NSDAP share; light green: lowest NSDAP share). The map reveals that the NSDAP strongholds are clearly restricted to protestant areas. This becomes very clear e.g. in East Prussia, where in a small catholic enclave the NSDAP performed very poorly in comparison to the surrounding Kreise dominated by protestants.

It is also inportant to note that of the 21 Nazi Germans tried as war criminals at Nuremberg 16 indicated they were "Protestant."
