Did the Catholic Church Refuse Communion to Nazi Leaders Advocating Late Term Abortions as a Form of Birth Control?
Upvote:4
The Roman Catholic Church formally excommunicated all active members of the Nazi party in 1931.
Quoting from this answer:
In February 1931, the German bishops excommunicated all active Nazi party members. This included Hitler. This penalty was not imposed on those who merely voted Nazi. It was hoped to persuade them by argument. The same policy was in operation against the Communists. - The Catholic Response to Nazism
Excommunicated people are not eligible to receive communion, and so would have been refused it if they had attempted to receive it.
This was long before the Nazi leaders were in a position to effect abortion policy.
