How would that work? Hitler is dead. He can't repent.

He was repeatedly excommunicated, most of his sins incurring AUTOMATIC excommunication.

This book has closed the debate on Pius XII with full vindication and the evidence for Sainthood !! just as the recently-found memo vindicates Pope Benedict in the child abuse cases. Truth will out.

A person cannot be excommunicated after death. After they die, God takes care of the situation.

Anyway, people really excommunicate themselves. IMHO, Hitler excommunicated himself when he started killing people to "purify" the German race.

There was nothing to excommunicate. Hitler was not catholic. Unlike Judaism, being simply born into a Catholic family does not make one Catholic. Hitler merely cleaved to his catholic roots whenever it was convenient in order to earn support from largely christian Germany.

As far as excommunication goes: Hitler was responsible for murder of innocents, that incurs late excommunication. He was also extremely active in the occult and its teaching. This is heresy and likewise incurs automatic excommunication. If Hitler actually WERE a catholic when he started his evil acts, his very first ones automatically excommunicated him anyway.

(this is also why Hitler created the Reich Church... because the Catholic church would NOT support him, and he needed the appearance of remaining in a Christian church... so he had a church designed with one of his supporters as bishop and all the trappings of Catholicism with none of the moral condemnation of the church to kick him out... and again, establishing a church to stand against the catholic church incurs yet ANOTHER late excommunication)
