Seems as though there is much knowledge, and "research," and MANY opinions and facts to consider...OR is it a conspiracy?

You know what's truly sad? Even before I pasted your link into my browser, I knew it was to John Cornwell's "Hitler's Pope." You do realize that this particular book has been thoroughly and comprehensively trashed by legitimate historians. The book is as much a fraud as the cover photo--which is supposed make the soldier saluting then Cardinal Pacelli look like a Nazi. In reality, the photo was taken in the late 1920s--during the Weimar Republic.

Again, you are speaking from ignorance. Here's one little tidbit you probably didn't read in Cornwell's slander of a dead Pontiff--the Chief Rabbi of Rome during WWII converted to Catholicism after the war. As his baptismal name, he took "Eugenio." Pius XII's name was Eugenio Pacelli.

Even if you want to believe everything in Cornwell's book is a "fraud," what do you do about the other sources, books and contentions on the matter?

ALL lies as well?

You're right -- it was "a little tidbit" you provided.

One Roman Rabbi's conversion to Catholicism is trivial compared to events of collaboration that indeed transpired between the Vatican and Hitler.
