Point well taken.
I don’t find identifying people from old photos of varying lighting and quality so easy. Certain people can look very different from different angles. Certain actors and actresses come to mind. Other people can be identified easily without seeing their facial features at all.
Bottom line is that Pacelli is misidentified as Pius in a number of photos. To me, it’s the chin that’s a giveaway, but that’s not always clear in old photos.
Pacelli is Pius XII's family name.
But you knew that ! ;-)
Just out of curiosity, I'm going to go and see who it is that identified that individual as then-Cardinal Pacelli, because it is pretty well known that the two men never met face to face.
. . . hmmm . . . searching "Pius XII and Hitler" turns up (1) site that appears to be a Hindu/ Krishna organization of some kind, but written in Polish (I think). (2) Two posts on a photo-posting website in Germany by somebody called "Haakon". (3) Rapture/prophecy site.
OK, I'm completely convinced! :-p
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
