He didn't hate catholics - it was Jewish people that he tortured. He read passages in The Bible and went for his own interpretation on how he was to save the world -- this is why people should not interpret the bible themselves.
Although born and raised in the Catholic faith, Hitler grew to hate sincere Catholics and Christians in general, and during his career, persecuted them. He considered the Catholic teachings of humility, gentleness, and compassion toward others to be signs of "weakness," ill-befitting the members of the "Master Race," and did not wish Hitler Youth to learn to be "weak" and "wishy-washy" like Catholics and other Christians.
On March 10, 1937, Pope Pius XI published an encyclical critical of Nazism called Mit brennender Sorge (With Burning Anxiety). In response, uniformed members of the "Master Race" rounded up and imprisoned a number of Catholic monks.
Hitler hated Roman Catholics who stood with the Pope against him, but appreciated those Catholics who felt they could compromise their faith by becoming Nazis and supporting the utmost in brutality and wickedness, yet continuing to attend Mass, receiving the Sacraments, and claiming to be Catholic.

Hitler did not openly denounce Christians, but he encouraged a sort of “Führer worship” in the German Church. The German Church replaced the Bible with Mein Kampf in their congregations, forbade people from reading and preaching the Old Testament, calling it a “Book of Jewish Lies”, and downplayed the suffering and death of Christ, saying it looked “too much like weakness”. There was no room for weakness in the Third Reich, and orthodox Christianity was considered too soft. Those who preached orthodox Christianity and resisted religion-like Nazism were often imprisoned, and killed for helping Jews or “betraying Germany”. Though Hitler mainly professed hatred for Jews, and claimed to be acting in Christian interest, thousands of Christians were tortured and killed under his reich.
