But it's a far cry from comparing this Catholic figure and that Catholic figure, in different circumstances, and deciding that one is "more Christlike" than another (we could argue about that all day), and claiming that a devout Pope who saved hundreds of thousands of Jews was "un-Christlike". Will you at least retract that slander?

In journalism the absolute defense against libel (slander in written form) is truth...I have not called Pius XII anything that could be stretched to your elevating our discourse to anything that could even resemble "slander" ... I have offered, at least what I consider to be, a fair and truthful assessment done on Pius XII by the American Jewish council--believe me, there are far more critical histories available about his papacy but I think you know that.

"Un-Christlike" is false and slanderous.

I've done a thorough review of the history and its sources, and you are simply wrong here.

Why rely on a third-hand article with no primary sources and conclude that it's "fair and truthful" -- on what basis? The primary sources and contemporary references directly refute the article.

Surely you understand the danger of hearsay assertions? It's a violation of historical method.
