In 1907 and 1908, a prospective student from Linz, Austria by the name of Adolf Hitler was twice denied admission to this Academy for Art Studies. He stayed in Vienna and tried unsuccessfully to continue his profession as an artist. Soon he had withdrawn into poverty and started selling amateur paintings, mostly watercolours, for meagre sustenance until the outbreak of the First World War, Adolf Hitler decided to become a priest in Linz Austria and live a life in the seminary.

What if he instead got drunk/ injured one night and was discovered and taken in by a member of the clergy? This good man that takes in Hitler speaks to him at length about what Hitler's troubles are, and the conversation eventually leads to Hitler rediscovering religion, and desiring to be closer to god. He then joins the clergy, becoming a firey and well-known preacher, speaking to masses about the greatness of god and the Roman Catholic church. Events then happen which lead to him becoming pope.

Sorry, this is no disrespect twoards you, I just wanted to share my idea on how Hitler could join the church.

Hmm, intriguing, as completely insane as the thread title makes it sound it would be an interesting consideration to make certainly.

Adolf Hitler became a very devout priest who devoted his time on his work as a priest, he was known as a good priest by his colleague of Priests.
Adolf Hitler was known to be a amateur painter as well as a priest and he starts painting as well which was liked by his colleagues.

Unless Hitler drops out of the priesthood. Then you've made a Stalin-Hitler. Just think of the mustache.

That'd be interesting, if both Hitler and Stalin joined the clergy of their respective faiths. :D

And I have something worse...

WI: Pope Adolf Hitler
 

lothaw

Well Hitler as Pope would have the perfect position to push his anti-sementic views on a global stage.

Wonder how well he'd get along with Mussolini. :p

Popes were predominantly Italian in this era, so I do not think Adolphus will become pope. But cardinal is certainly possible. However, I think his illness (parkinsons) will get the better of him before he can reach such a position. A bishop in the Vatican, with some official function is probably as far as he'll reach. He'll be appreciated by some for his fiery sermons, while others will show disdain for his non-usage of latin and speaking directly to the peons.

this is Hitler we are talking about. if he was born austrian and took over germany, he might be able to become pope. he might be more well-known as a preacher and his fame might boost his chances, we know he has the voice for it. Also, he might see corruption within the church and conspire with a few other members of the church to oust certain "undesierable" ministers and priests as heretics and hypocrites, damaging their reputation and leading to their resignation/disgrace. this would decrease the pool of possible candidates, and he might improve his chances further by digging up dirt on the cardinals (or whomever elects the pope, I don't remember) and blackmail them into giving him their support. After seeing how harmful it could be to cross Hitler, the cardinals (or whoever) cast their ballots after the death of the current pope, and Hitler is chosen.

How about if he became a priest, rose through the ranks via is inspirational and religious speaking and his good works to the rank of Bishop. Noted from early on as an early riser by the Vatican they decide to raise him to the College of Cardinals. After a few years as a junior Cardinal, it is felt that is ready for some real responsibility. His firey anti-Semitism is well known. He is appointed the Head of the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition.

"Holy" and "Adolf Hitler" are polar opposites. Therefore this thread shocks me.:eek:

Very common mischaracterization. I'm tired of his use as the idea of total evil: while I agree that Adolf Hitler was deluded and obsessed with the destruction of the Jewish people, the use of Hitler's name as a synonym for "antichrist" is really getting old.

This looks interesting, however. Adolf's personality would likely get him somewhere in the church.

If Hitler goes holy, how will this affect the history of Germany? Would the Nazi Party be butterflied away, or would someone else take over?

Hitler's personality, if given the right platform, be it the pulpit or the boardroom or the electoral stump would have gotten many places. It would have worked for a while too but just as in real life his delusions would have destroyed him eventually. Parkinsons was his worst physical ailment but I suspect there was a bit of paranoid schizophrenia mixed in there was well.
