Oh NO! Are you really going to go THERE? Eugenio Pacelli eating Jewish Babies for breakfast right before he puts on the watered silk cassock and all?

Are you a sho' 'nuff Doctor in the academic sense of the word? If you are, you have the habits and skills to check this stuff out, and you probably know better than to fall for the first piece of anti-Catholic bazz-fazz which comes down the pike. AND knowing the devious ways of the human heart, you should probably know that when an allegation or hypothesis presents itself which leads one to respond, "See THERE? I KNEW, I just KNEW that I was right about [fill in blank]!" THAT's the time to count your change and double check your figures.

A lot of the anti-semitism charges are in the same neighborhood as people getting their underthings all in a wad over Wshsington and Jefferson owning slaves. But my impression is that most of the charges of Vatican anti-semitism around WWII come from people who decided that the filthy papists were, as we all know, filthy papists - gasp! - and then went looking for evidence.

It's not unlike people who decide that we Papists are stupid, easily led, supersititious, and credulous fools (but at the same time and in the same respect unbelievably devious, crafty, wily, and efficient, and masterful in the perversion of logic) who think that a chemical change happens in the host and the chalice at every Mass. (That's my way of asking, "Don't you and I have a pending issue?")

It reminds me of my C of E god-mother, a graduate of Oxford, who said that Catholics were ignorant and superstitious, somehow forgetting John Cardinal Newman.
