Yeah, I may be looking at his posts right now.

“In terms of Popes, Pius XII was a mediocrity.”

According to what standard? He published great and important encyclicals, saved up to 860,000 Jews, was beloved by the world’s Christians, and respected by non-Catholics for his service to God and man. How does that make him mediocre as a pope?

“That is not so bad as you might think.”

You’re not making any sense.

The fact that he lived through the entire Second World War living like a king is all I need to know.

If he had been jailed I would have been his STRONGEST supporter. He wasn’t and I have no respect for him.

I am not sure this is worth debating as you won’t be changing my mind, nor will I change yours.
