Israeli scholar Pinchas Lapide, with access to the Yad Vashem archives has proved that “The Catholic Church relief and rescue program under the pontificate of Pius XII was instrumental in saving the lives of as many as 860,000 Jews from certain death at Nazi’s hands. That was more than all other Churches, religious institutions and international rescue organizations put together”.

But that can’t be so. Because, according to the Rev Hagee, Pius XII really hated Jews.

You know, you're mixing apples and oranges there. The Pope could have disliked Jews but yet worked to save them.

I don't like Democrats for example, yet I would not run one down on the road without first attempting to put on the brakes.

I know you feel the same.

At the same time everyone knows there were truly heroic religious folks of many persuasions throughout Europe that pad with their lives to protect Jews and Gypsies from destruction by the Nazis.

Some of that took place in secret.
