RR,
Hitler had been excommunicated from the Catholic Church by his own actions.
Nowhere have I ever read that Hitter was a devout Catholic.
He may have been raised Catholic but his amount of devotion is a result of
personal choices and actions.
It's not unusual for someone whose live is steeped in sin - which is any
direction away from God - to distance himself from the Church which calls
every person to holiness and charity towards all.
Drunkards, adulterers, fornicators, piers, swindlers, verbal and physical
abusers will not enter Heaven.
