“Yes, I’ve read the book, Vlad. And you should, too. And so should Titanites and anyone who wants a clearer picture of Pacelli.”
To get a clearer picture of Pius XII - and I already have a very clear one based on plenty of reading - I would read Sister Pascalina’s autobiography and not a book supposedly about her. To get a clearer picture of historical events we must read primary sources.
“However, you and Titanites seem to disagree because you provide glowing reviews from people who surely must have read the book and couldn’t possibly be planted stooges on Amazon, while Titanites is offering a very negative review of the book.”
We do not agree. I never said the point of view was mine. I notice that you are not refuting what the reveiwer I quoted claimed even though it would directly dispute your own posts here. Why is that? No, instead you are trying to say Titanites and I disagree when we don’t.
“So which is it? A great book that vindicates Pacelli or another book that slanders him and his “secretary.””
You could easily resolve which it is by refuting or supporting what the reviewer I quoted said. How about it?
“To me “La Popess” is, as I said, a fascinating read and a further glimpse into the very strange life of Pacelli and those who have and continue to defend him.”
But does the book say what the reviwer I quote said it says? Does it? I have no idea. Why don’t you tell us?
lol. You offered the glowing review of La Popessa; I didn't. And now you're asking my opinion of that glowing review?
Apparently you want us to believe the good reviews, and also to believe the bad reviews. Strange.
No, I don't think La Popessa vindicates Pacelli from his sins of omission as well as his sins of commission. Far from it. I think the book stands in testimony to one pretty strange couple who lived together for 50 years.
Read the book for yourself. As I said, I thought it was fascinating.
