Not news. In America and Europe, the abortion movement has had bishops on its side for fifty years, even more. The bishops’ conference in the U.S. has devoted tremendous energy, and millions of dollars, to assistance to pro-abortion politicians. Cardinal Bernardin gave the abortionists the most valuable gift they ever received: the “seamless garment,” an elaborate rationalization for Catholics to vote for abortionists.

Germany had similar bishops. The thesis of Hitler’s Pope—that Pius XII was one of them—is a vicious smear.

Interesting. Riebling's book Wedge: The Secret War Between the FBI and CIA is also worth reading.

The slander against Pius XII sank to its lowest point in 1999 with the publication of a squalid hit piece by John Cornwell ("Hitler's Pope"). It has since been totally discredited by Catholic and Jewish authorities alike, who credit Pius XII with saving many Jewish lives and supporting all manner of covert resistance to das Reich.

It has long since ceased to be an issue, at least for responsible historians.

Does this mean stories about the Vatican Bank and the Mafia are lies?

“Boy, is this going to upset the usual Catholic haters.”

Haters? I don’t think people hate Catholics, I think it’s
just the Marxist Francis that they dislike and I don’t
think Francis would want Hitler dead at all. I think they
would be good buddies being how they have so much in common.
If Hitler was alive today, he would be a hero, even to
the pope.

Many, many years ago, when I was a child in north New Jersey, when we kids had fights, the little Catholic kids would put one foot in my yard and say, “Nah, nah, you can’t make me get out of your yard, cause you’re a Protestant and you’re going to hell!” One of these kids had a sister who was a nun. They all went to Catholic school, where there were 50 kids in a class, and the nuns smacked their hands with rulers if they did something wrong. I don’t hate Catholics, but I sure hate what was done to make them so full of hate.
