Why should we read anything by an author who repeats lies?
He [Dr. Hesemann] said that Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli – the future Pius XII – wrote to Catholic archbishops around the world to urge them to apply for visas for “non-Aryan Catholics” and Jewish converts to Christianity who wanted to leave Germany. Elliot Hershberg, the chairman of the Pave the Way Foundation, said:“ We believe that many Jews who were successful in leaving Europe may not have had any idea that their visas and travel documents were obtained through these Vatican efforts. “Everything we have found thus far seems to indicate the known negative perception of Pope Pius XII is wrong.”
If I remember correctly it was a Soviet/East German propoganda play that gave rise to the falsehood that the Pope was silent about the Jews during WWII. This was because the Church, which was seen as the greatest enemy of communism, had to have her credibility and moral authority destroyed so people would not listen to her about the evils of communism. Sound familiar?
