And why should Jews have the right to the unlimited access to the Vaitcan archives? Dare they ask for the same rights to those of the United States government? They might say: "WE DEMAND to know what President Roosevelt knew about the Holocaust in 1943 and why he didn't do more to short-circuit it!" One may resumbaly presume that FDR knew what was going on, but you won't find that he said anything about it publicly. Read the NYT for the period 1942-45.Effectively Silent. You don't think THEY knew?
Does a cow kuka like a kitty" Why is it so difficult for you to stay on topic? The Vatican offered access to the relevant archives and agreed to a cooperative effort of research to prove how active the "Church" was during the period of the Holocaust. When the shit hit the fan only archives up to 1923 were available. "Technical" reasons. Yah! Sure!

And why is it so difficult for you to understand that they are milking the situation for all it's worth. They want an issue, not a resolution, otherwise they wouln't have gone public.

You are hearing what you want to hear in order to keep up your unremitting hammer pounding away. You really need to get full time employment or marry a querulous wife. This would deplete some of that excess energy you evidently possess. Or perhaps you could research more fully and then weigh pros and cons and give us something to consider.
Thats okay but I am quite sure that the documentation available clearly shows that the Church and Pius XII were held in high esteem by Jews until after his death. In about 1963 a play came out that impugned the Pope,I think the name was "The "Deputy"and the writer Rolf Holstreuth or some such name. The play opened shortly after the "wannabe god men" recognizzed that the Church they believed had suffered its final blow actually was coming back stronger than ever. Ever since the battering has been relentless. Not that you care.Fah-foo.I bet if you knew how much I enjoy using the expression and how my grandchildren laugh when I say it you would never have given it to me.
