It doesn't matter a dang thing about how many Jewish lives he apparently saved, sitting quiet, when all we can know is that over 6 million Jews were killed and a world war was fought over the issue.

I DO NOT believe his supposed ‘pro-Jewish’ actions by being quiet were ever meant to help Jews.

Where in the Bible does it say to stay silent about wrong? This solely shows the Pope found it expedient to stay silent.

See post #215.

He should have spoken up and made sure that 6.5 million were killed, instead?

If you or someone you loved were among the additional 500,000 who died as a result of the Pope's words, would you consider that a good trade?

1) WWII was NOT fought over the Jews. It started BEFORE the Holocaust began.

2) It does too matter how many he saved and it doesn’t really matter if he saved them loudly or quietly. A saved innocent life is a saved innocent life. Period.

“I DO NOT believe his supposed ‘pro-Jewish’ actions by being quiet were ever meant to help Jews.”

But that is exactly what they did so your opinion is meaningless.

“Where in the Bible does it say to stay silent about wrong? This solely shows the Pope found it expedient to stay silent.”

I always thought Matthew 10:16 taught such prudence.
