Does God Love Hitler?

So my son asked me, does God love Hitler?

I am sure this question has been asked a zillion times already. That is not stopping it from being asked, again and again.

Firstly, I am hardly an authority on God, and therefore any answer I have should be viewed accordingly.

Most people would give a straight 'no' to the question. After all, it is easy to understand that God should not be loving any one who does not do according to His Words. This is actually what most people want to believe is the correct answer. For these same people, it is unthinkable that, after committing so many grave sins, Hitler could still be loved by God.

My church priest said that, unequivocably, that God does love Osama. God loves everyone. It is different from saying that God loves Osama's actions.

I have heard that God's love is the greatest love of all. From that stand point, it becomes easy to understand that God loves Hitler, and Osama, because, both Hitler and Osama must have been greatly loved by their mothers. And, God's love is the greatest love of all.
