The article [[Liberal myths]] says "They claim Hitler was a Catholic."  The article [[Christian In Name Only]] says "Despite being raised Roman Catholic and claiming that Jesus was his inspiration, Hitler was only using Christianity to gain favor with the German people. His true beliefs were based off of his social darwinistic views."  It also includes "The Catholic Church" as all being XINO.  What are we trying to communicate here?  That liberals are wrong in claiming that Hitler was a Catholic in name only, or that because Hitler was raised a Catholic, even if Hitler had remained a faithful practitioner of Catholicism, he would still be just a XINO?  Or that liberals claim that Hitler was true to the teaching and spirit of the Catholic Church in his every thought and deed?  Or is it a liberal myth that the complexity of Christianity can be reduced to a short list of XINOs? Please help! [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 03:10, 29 December 2016 (EST)

:My beliefs my differ from CPs, but as I understand it, Hitler claimed to be a catholic to win favor.  He was not (he was actually very involved in the occult) but even if he had been, it would have been questionable whether he was a Christian or not.  His actions proved he was not a Christian or a catholic, however, so I suppose you could say he was two-fold Christian in name only. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 09:32, 29 December 2016 (EST)

::Many secular liberals like to claim that Hitler was a Christian or a Roman Catholic in order to blame Christianity for the Holocaust, as well as every other evil in the world. That's all it is. Hitler clearly opposed Christianity,[http://answers.org/apologetics/hitquote.html][https://answersingenesis.org/charles-darwin/racism/darwinism-and-the-nazi-race-holocaust/] believed in evolution, [https://answersingenesis.org/charles-darwin/racism/hitler-and-evolution/] and tried to modify Protestantism in Germany into a XINO organization that adhered to Nazi beliefs.[https://answersingenesis.org/sanctity-of-life/the-results-of-evolution/] (I also read somewhere that Hitler wished that Islam were the dominant religion in Europe because it was "stronger" and he thus could use it better). I think what the article is saying is that Hitler, like the R.C.C., claimed to be Christian, but in reality had beliefs far from biblical Christianity. His denomination does not appear to really matter. --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 12:15, 29 December 2016 (EST)

:::Historians have generally viewed the Pope and the Roman Catholic hierarchy as being complicit in spreading anti-Semitism and being supportive of the Holocaust.  However, the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church have changed a lot since 1939, particularly for blaming the Jews for Christ's death.  I believe that it is probably a mistake to list the entire Roman Catholic Church as XINO, and the terse "They claim Hitler was a Catholic." is too condensed to help the reader.  There are many ways to criticize liberals, and this one is probably so weak that most people would not list it.  If the Roman Catholic Church is XINO, what about the Mormons?
