Perhaps we’re to believe Pinchas is not a “reputable historian.”

Perhaps we’re to believe Pinchas is not a “reputable historian.”

That is the deception being presented. However:

Pinchas Lapide, working from Yad Vashem archives, has demonstrated that the papal relief and rescue program saved 860,000 Jews - more than all other agencies combined, governmental or international.

“Perhaps we’re to believe Pinchas is not a “reputable historian.”

He was not an historian. He was an orthodox theologian/diplomat, Israeli Consul to Milan, who was more interested in getting recognition for the State of Israel than presenting accurate history. He did not do the original research but relied on others doing it in the Vatican archives. He went just far enough in his theology of the resurrection to ingratiate himself to the gentile powers that be but never accepted Jesus as divine so as to incur the wrath of the Orthodox Jews.
