You're reading Is it true that Hitler hated Jews since childhood because his mother was raped by one when he was 7?

LOL, first of all, one doesn't convert to darwinism and secondly, Hitler never converted from Catholicism to any other faith.

Well he certainly "converted", he was raised a Catholic and any fool can see he persecuted the churches. Even someone like Hitler does not persecute his own group.
by QueenR eats the Terminator for breakfast on January 20th, 2009
Actually, no he didn't. He persecuted those few priests who stood up to him but not the Church as a whole and no, as a matter of historical record, he did not convert.

"The Christian Churches were amongst the first victims of Nazi war crimes in the rise to power of the Nazis, and detailed plans were made to eliminate them after power was secured"

Wikepedia is not a valid reference btw. And the Catholic church had an agreement with Hitler called the Reich Concordat, drawn up in 1933. It's a matter of historical record.
by Anon y mouse on January 21st, 2009
Yes it is. It may not be 100% correct but it does not lie.
So you are saying that just because Hitler signed an agreement he actually meant it? He signed an agreement with the Soviet union in 1939 not to attack it. Look what he did 2 years later.

You don't seem to realize that Wikepedia can be edited by anyone to say anything. For that reason, it is not accepted as a reference source. And again, as a matter of historical record, the Catholic Church until late into Hitler's rule went along with him. He did not convert - again a matter of historical record and, one can agree with evolution and also be a Christian btw, something else you don't seem to realize, given your comment about converting to Darwinism. If you'd like to call any university history department, I'm sure they'd be only too happy to set you straight.

Sorry for the double post. If you'd like to check, that Wikipedia entry now does not contain the line that you quoted. Still think it's a valid resource? You might want to learn a little about how to do research and what is considered verifiable and what is not before making provably unsound claims that are based on ignorance of history and assumptions that just don't have much basis in historical truth.
by Anon y mouse on January 21st, 2009
Yes I do still think it is a valid source.
You are so quick to tell that I am wrong, but you seem to ignored that to Hitler, treatys just bought him time. He signed a treaty with the Catholic church. What makes you think he would stick to it?
He tried to amalgamate all the protestant churches into one Reich church, and if that is not just Hitler trying to tighten his control over Germans then I don't know what is.

"Yes I do still think it's a valid source." Strange that because you just proved that you yourself are wrong. If you look at the page, it actually says, "The Christian Churches by and large supported what Hitler did, particularly the Catholic Church and only changed their attitude later on when it became obvious that Hitler was persecuting some Christians." The quote you gave isn't there. You are so busted. :o)

It WAS there, meaning IT WAS.
Forcing them against their will to join someone else is persecuting them.
by QueenR eats the Terminator for breakfast on January 22nd, 2009
Ok, I have here an extract from the book, "Origins of the Second World War", by A. J. P. Taylor;
(On the Austrian and German governments working together in 1936)
"They where ready to persecute the Socialists, though not the Roman Catholics or the Jews"
The German government wanted the Austrians to be (at first) a puppet of Berlin. To do so, they would have to have pretty much the same policy.
By saying that the Austrians did not want to persecute the Catholics, Taylor is saying they where not willing to cooperate with the Nazis in that field. Which is saying the Nazis DID persecute teh catholics.

It doesn't state what you want it to state. You are simply extrapolating. Also, the issue is whether or not Hitler was a Catholic and converted. On every point so far you have been proven wrong. Not to mention giving references that actually disprove your own point.
by Anon y mouse on January 27th, 2009
No, my reference proves the AUSTRIAN government did not want to persecute the Catholics, meaning they did not want to join in with the GERMAN policy of doing so.
by QueenR eats the Terminator for breakfast on January 27th, 2009
Just because someone is raised in a particular denomination as a child, that doesn't mean that they fully believe in it. You would have to prove that he went to church every Sunday, confession several times a year and received communion on every required occasion to even begin to have credibility to your belief that Hitler was anything but a lapsed Catholic.
