JERUSALEM -- Newly discovered records document the role of Monsignor Angelo Roncalli, a Vatican diplomat in Istanbul during World War II who later became Pope John XXIII, in helping rescue thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Holocaust.

They also lend weight to arguments that Pope Pius XII, who was pontiff during the war, failed to do all he could to prevent the systematic massacre of millions of Jews.

Non-sequitur alert. Since when does the Washington Times get their information from Catholic-hating communist symp reporters and playwrites?

Since when do the Moonies have an interest in the Church?
