Hitler WAS a Catholic:
?The anti-Semitism of the new movement (Christian Social movement)
was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?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.?
[Adolph Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936]
?I have followed [the Church] in giving our party program the
character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has
never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred
years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its
amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been
rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be
built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or
irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long
as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it.?
[Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, The Voice of Destruction, pp. 239-40]
?My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded
by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God?s truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian
and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord
at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight
against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with
deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact
that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As
a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have
the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice? And if there is
anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is
the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty
to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and
work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only
for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning
and see these men standing in their queues and look into their
pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very
devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two
thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people
are plundered and exposed.?
[Adolf Hitler, speech in Munich on April 12, 1922, countering a
political opponent, Count Lerchenfeld, who opposed antisemitism on
his personal Christian feelings. Published in "My New Order", quoted
in Freethought Today April 1990]
?I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of
the Almighty Creator.?
[Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp. 46]
?What we have to fight for?is the freedom and independence of the
fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission
assigned to it by the Creator.?
[Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp. 125]
?This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the
practical existence of a religious belief.?
[Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.152]
?And the founder of Christianity made no secret indeed of his
estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary, He drove
those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God.?
[Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.174]
?Catholics and Protestants are fighting with one another? while the
enemy of Aryan humanity and all Christendom is laughing up his sleeve.?
[Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.309]
?I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so?
[Adolph Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941]
?Any violence which does not spring from a spiritual base, will be
wavering and uncertain. It lacks the stability which can only rest in
a fanatical outlook.?
[Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, p. 171]
?I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn
splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the
abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my
father, the highest and most desirable ideal.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 1]
?I was not in agreement with the sharp anti-Semitic tone, but from
time to time I read arguments which gave me some food for thought. At
all events, these occasions slowly made me acquainted with the man
and the movement, which in those days guided Vienna?s destinies: Dr.
Karl Lueger and the Christian Social Party.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 2]
??the unprecedented rise of the Christian Social Party? was to
assume the deepest significance for me as a classical object of study.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?As long as leadership from above was not lacking, the people
fulfilled their duty and obligation overwhelmingly. Whether
Protestant pastor or Catholic priest, both together and particularly
at the first flare, there really existed in both camps but a single
holy German Reich, for whose existence and future each man turned to
his own heaven.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?Political parties has nothing to do with religious problems, as long
as these are not alien to the nation, undermining the morals and
ethics of the race; just as religion cannot be amalgamated with the
scheming of political parties.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?For the political leader the religious doctrines and institutions of
his people must always remain inviolable; or else has no right to be
in politics, but should become a reformer, if he has what it takes!
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?In nearly all the matters in which the Pan-German movement was
wanting, the attitude of the Christian Social Party was correct and
well-planned.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?It [Christian Social Party] recognized the value of large-scale
propaganda and was a virtuoso in influencing the psychological
instincts of the broad masses of its adherents.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
?If Dr. Karl Lueger had lived in Germany, he would have been ranked
among the great minds of our people.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3, about the leader of
the Christian Social movement]
?Even today I am not ashamed to say that, overpowered by stormy
enthusiasm, I fell down on my knees and thanked Heaven from an
overflowing heart for granting me the good fortune of being permitted
to live at this time.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 5]
?I had so often sung ?Deutschland u:ber Alles? and shouted ?Heil? at
the top of my lungs, that it seemed to me almost a belated act of
grace to be allowed to stand as a witness in the divine court of the
eternal judge and proclaim the sincerity of this conviction.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 5]
?Only in the steady and constant application of force lies the very
first prerequisite for success. This persistence, however, can always
and only arise from a definite spiritual conviction. Any violence
which does not spring from a firm, spiritual base, will be wavering
and uncertain.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 5]
?I soon realized that the correct use of propaganda is a true art
which has remained practically unknown to the bourgeois parties. Only
the Christian- Social movement, especially in Lueger?s time achieved
a certain virtuosity on this instrument, to which it owed many of its
success.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 6]
?Once again the songs of the fatherland roared to the heavens along
the endless marching columns, and for the last time the Lord?s grace
smiled on His ungrateful children.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 7, reflecting on World
War I]
?The more abstractly correct and hence powerful this idea will be,
the more impossible remains its complete fulfillment as long as it
continues to depend on human beings? If this were not so, the
founders of religion could not be counted among the greatest men of
this earth? In its workings, even the religion of love is only the
weak reflection of the will of its exalted founder; its significance,
however, lies in the direction which it attempted to give to a
universal human development of culture, ethics, and morality.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 8]
?To them belong, not only the truly great statesmen, but all other
great reformers as well. Beside Frederick the Great stands Martin
Luther as well as Richard Wagner.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 8]
?The fight against syphilis demands a fight against prostitution,
against prejudices, old habits, against previous conceptions, general
views among them not least the false prudery of certain circles. The
first prerequisite for even the moral right to combat these things is
the facilitation of earlier marriage for the coming generation. In
late marriage alone lies the compulsion to retain an institution
which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to
humanity, an institution which is damned ill-suited to a being who
with his usual modesty likes to regard himself as the ?image? of God.?
[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 10]
