If Hitler was Christian what church or where was he baptized?

Question

and what church or parish did he belong to?

CJ what was that rant about? just answer the question.

Answer 1

Hitler was raised by a Catholic mother and an atheist father. Hitler did not practice Catholicism, and he was not a Christian. Whatever lies he uttered in his propaganda, he sang a much different tune in his private conversations.

Hitler revealed his actual convictions in Hitler’s Table Talk: "The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. . . . Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. . . . Christianity is an invention of sick brains. . . . I shall never come personally to terms with the Christian lie."

Answer 2

Hitler's parents were Catholic, so assuming he was baptized, it would have been in the Catholic Church. That by no means establishes him as Catholic, Christian or a believer of any sort.

Here are a couple of things he said about Christianity and religion:

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery...."

"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity."

"We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State."

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew."

Answer 3

He was baptized on April 20, 1889 by Father Ignaz Probst at the local catholic church in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria. He was confirmed at the Linz (catholic) cathedral on May 22, 1904.

Once he achieved power, he did not attend services in Berlin, except for political purposes. He appears to have felt that the organized churches were tools for him to use but he also seems to have felt that he was doing the christian god's work.

As far as whether Hitler could be a christian, of course he could. That is not to say christians need to believe that god will welcome him with open arms. Atrocities are and have been carried out in the name of many religions by many people who sincerely thought that they were doing what god wanted them to. From Moses slaughtering the Midianite women and children to al Qaeda blowing up the World Trade Center, religious people have had no problem with shedding blood for what they see as a just cause

Answer 4

I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.

- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 2

It doesn't dawn on this depraved bourgeois world that this is positively a sin against all reason; that it is criminal lunacy to keep on drilling a born half-ape until people think they have made a lawyer out of him, while millions of members of the highest culture-race must remain in entirely unworthy positions; that it is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator if His most gifted beings by the hundreds and hundreds of thousands are allowed to degenerate in the present proletarian morass, while Hottentots and Zulu Kaffirs are trained for intellectual professions.

- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 2 Chapter 2

I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work.

- Adolf Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936

I don't know if he was a Christian, but he certainly wasn't an atheist.

Answer 5

Hello,

Hitler was born and most likely baptized Roman Catholic but quit going to church and the sacrements at a very early age. His religion was the state itself and he had to tolorate Catholics and protestants since they were the two religions most Germans followed.

He was contradictory in his attitudes; in some speeches
he praised Christianity and in others said it was totally incompatable with National Socialism. Some of his cohorts, especially Martin Bormann eventually wanted Christianity obliterated.

Cheers,

Answer 6

I see a strong showing of the No True Scotsman game here.

Hitler was baptized into the Catholic Church shortly after birth. He considered himself a Christian all his life, and felt he was doing God's work.

Answer 7

Hitler was baptized Catholic. He did not practice nor follow the teachings of the Catholic Church. He turned away from God and from Christianity in his youth.

CJ - I'm sorry for you and your misunderstanding of Catholicism. You are blind and narrow minded. Catholics are Christians, and they are saved by the blood of Christ. Why would you be against a Pope when you yourself claim to be a pope? You claim your interpretation of the Bible is the only correct one, therefore you have deemed yourself a personal pope.

Answer 8

Hitler and the Pope patted themselves on the back. Hitler would be whatever it took to be. Hitler had his agenda and the Pope either went along or got ran over. I'm not making excuses for the pope, because I didn't approve of his actions.
I'm protestant and many Christian protestants were killed along with the Jews.

Answer 9

Having a religion or going to a theological center (temple, mosque, or church) does not keep people from being bad. Some of the most bloody killers murdered in the name of god.

Answer 10

its common knowledge that Hitler belonged to a political organization that loosely translates to the "conservative socialist Christian workers party" in the days of his failed putsch attempt but before he actually took power.

history is your friend. don't leave fact up to your imagination to invent. you obviously do not want Hitler to have been a Christian, unfortunately for you, he was.
