BUMP!

I wonder where this 1972 document is and why it's not seen the light of day? Interesting, if true, and certainly the opposite of everything else we've heard concerning Pius XII and the Jews. We shall see?

You're right, all along I've heard that Pius XII did nothing to help the Jews, but it seems that there are documents that prove that the Pope actually helped save many Jews from Hitler's gas chambers. We shall see as the Beatification process goes forward.

The Catholic League can tell you more about the truth on Pius XII.

By the way, novelists like Martin Amis do us all a disservice with fictional Vatican officials who help Nazis get to the United States.

In the early years post-war his work was recognised, it is only more recently that people have tried to besmirch his reputation.

I look forward to the day that we can say: "Blessed Pius pray for us".

Anyone who wants to see absolutely definitive refutations of the slanders against Pius XII should look up two articles in FIRST THINGS (www.firstthings.com). One is a long one by Rychlak. The other entitled The Pius Wars is by
Joseph Bottum.

"I wonder where this 1972 document is ......"

Equally important was it typed on a word processor that was not invented until 1996 ?

This is clearly BS. Every smart person knows that Pious hated Jews and did everything he could to collaborate with the Nazis. Adolph LOVED Catholics. He had the Pope up to the Eagle's Nest for weekend barbacues.

Correction: everything else we've heard concerning Pius XII and the Jews from assorted anti-Catholic bigots both on and off FR.

[Ciexyz]

Weren't there numerous instances of convents hiding Jews during the war?

Funny, you claim to have an intelligent contribution to the conversation, yet you cannot spell Pius' name correctly. I hope this post was sarcastic.

I'll be that he has a hard time getting a good table at a restaurant.

Kidnap the Pope and do away with Christianity, just like certain people today who call Bush Hitler.
