Hitler was a Catholic- FACT. Is he in heaven?
So,if someone repents on their death bed they go to heaven. Does this include Hitler too?
I know he was a bad dude and dabbled in some genocide but Jesus was a Jew and you can't kill Jesus so technically genocide on Jews isn't possible. As long as he didn't use condoms with Viva Prawn (which being Catholic he probably didn't) it's feesably possible Hitler is in heaven. Thoughts?

Only God decides who goes to Heaven, but just because Hitler was Catholic, that's not enough. You have to stay with the Church, not dapple in occultism, racism, etc. I believe Hitler also played with Norse mythology, he was reconstructing ancient Germany, "purifying" the German race, bringing back old German culture, he may have been once Catholic, but I think he moved on to "bigger and better things."
As for his end, suppose Hitler did "repent," reaffirm his ties with the Catholic Church, and so forth, he committed suicide, which is an act of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Where he is, I don't know, I can't know, but it's a reasonable bet, when you consider every factor, he might not be in Heaven.
(Seriously, why is it whenever that Hitler the Catholic topic is
brought up, people put aside all his Nazi occultic practices?)

Hitler in my view was God's source to bring about the creation of the Israel Nation into existence. The Jews had develop a nation within Europe. It was hidden but there. God had to destroy that nation as well as destroy the north Africa Nations. Hitler did that or at lease the German Army did.
The final results was Israel was establish and there not a time in history could that have been done and no time afterward.
But it does not mean Hitler is walking the streets of gold.

Redemption is freely offered to everyone - even Hitler.
That said, Hitler certainly didn't live a Christian life, and I find it unlikely that he had any genuine repentance at the time of his death - he killed himself to prevent the Russians from taking him alive. It was a self-serving act more than anything else, and there's no particular evidence of anything otherwise.
It is not my place to judge, however. My philosophy is that we should worry about our own redemption first, and let everything else fall into place as it will.

Hitler was a secularist. He pedaled God to further his agenda and manipulate the Nazis. It was purely a tactical move. Kind of like how Stalin stopped burning churches and believers after he got betrayed by Hitler. He knew if he did not have the help of the church then he would not have been able to hold off the Germans. Instead, Hitler would have been time magazines man of the year twice instead of Stalin and there would be a completely different synopsis of how WW2 went down.

How can anybody who sanctions the death of 3 million Catholics, murders priests and nuns for helping Jews, plot to kill the Pope, be called a Catholic? How can a so called Catholic leader make Lutheranism the state religion? Having one lapsed Catholic parent does not make one a Catholic.

Revelation 12:7-9: "And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."
Revelation 12:12: "On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”
Think about the verses above. What kind of angel was Satan? Loving? Deceitful? Fair? Cruel? Cared about others? Cared about himself only? If that angel, known as Satan had positive traits, this verse would have never been written. Satan had obvious traits that would only spoil the useful habits of fellow angels in heaven. Satan had his own ideas ever since the garden of Eden. As a result, Michael, or Jesus, cast Satan down from Heaven to the Earth. No wonder why verse 12 said, "woe for the earth and sea..." Needless to say, Satan was very jealous, in fact, always jealous of Jehovah God because he wanted the worship and to be worshiped.
Does that sound familiar? Did not Adolf Hitler adopt those same behaviors as Satan the Devil? You can say that Hitler was Satan's puppet. Think about how many died in those concentration camps. Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. What did Hitler want? Worship. It was either "Heil Hitler" or face the consequences. Hitler, like Satan, was a ruthless individual. Do you think that a loving God like Jehovah, would ever consider having in heaven with him the very one who was accountable for the cold-blooded deaths of many of his servants during the Nazi regime? Would you want such an influence?
Something to think about.

Death bed repentance ISN'T repentance at all. Repentance is about acknowledging, confessing, making restitution and changing your heart and not repeating the offense. In his case there isn't a CHANCE.

Since immortal souls are a fiction that believers rely upon to deny the finality of death, Hitler isn't anywhere.
(Well some of his charred bones are locked up in Moscow.)

Something tells me he did not attend regular mass, nor have confessions, nor did he pray the rosary.
Just a suspicion. A catholic who does not believe in the core beliefs of the Catholic church is kind of like a medical doctor who doesn't believe or practice healing people.

Get your FACTS straight, please. His mother may have been Catholic at one time, but this doesn't make Hitler Catholic. One who murders his wife, then kills himself doesn't have time for a 'death bed' confession, sorry.
