Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust

Pope Pius XII was the Pope during the Nazi era and he has been accused of being indifferent at best to the fate of the Jews who came unstuck then. By the same token Ariel Sharon has not been accused of being indifferent to the fate of the Palestinians in the Zionist era. He was an enthusiastic murderer and terrorist like most if not all Jewish prime ministers in Israel. But that is not quite the point of this little essay.

Pius wrote and published Mit Brennender Sorge  [ With Burning Care is my amateur translation  ] in 1937, an encyclical which was unusual because it was published first in German rather than Latin and told us thereby who it was written for. He wrote about the Nazi's breach of the  Concordat with the German Reich (1933)  and in favour of peace in Germany.

If you ever wonder what the Jews did to help themselves and the rest of us during the war you could visit the cemetery at Oosterbeek. It is just one among hundreds in North West Europe. Then you can count the stars among the headstones with crosses on. Englishmen, Australians, Canadians and Americans are there. So are Poles and men of the Wehrmacht but there are not half a dozen Jews among a thousand graves. So the answer is - not a lot.

One of the reasons why the Jews [ read that as Zionists ] are doing a huge marketing effort to sell the Holocaust® story is that it deflects criticism of their genocidal policies in Israel. The money is another and we are looking at billions. More on that at World Jewish Congress Here are some sources pro and con. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.

Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust
Holy Mother Church responds to the accusations and quotes the Israeli consul, Pinchas E. Lapide, in his book, THREE POPES AND THE JEWS an Israeli Diplomat's Disclosures About papal-Judaic Relations Since the Start of WW II (New York: Hawthorn Books, Inc., 1967) at page 214 as saying that  Pope Pius XII and the Church saved  860,000 Jews from Nazi death camps. That would be enough to please most people but not in this case. Three million Catholics were murdered in the Holocaust but they don't whine about their problems or demand compensation. Bert Einstein, a left wing, Jewish atheist takes a favourable view too.

 

The 'Holocaust' and Vatican Archives
The Holy See has published relevant documents, 11 volumes of them as Actes et Documents du Saint Siege Relatifs a la Seconde Guerre Mondiale which tell anyone who cares to read them that the Pope did a great deal to help Jews. These volumes were extensively ignored.

A committee of enquiry was set up with three Jews and three Catholics to investigate the facts. The Jews sent a list of 47 questions before they arrived and did not take the time to read the answers produced for them. They were unable to read Italian which is the language of most of the source documents. They had in any event made up their minds before getting anywhere near Rome. The whole thing was a political boondoggle. Thus saith  Ronald J. Rychlak who was there on the day. Professor Rychlak is the Mississippi Defense Lawyers Association Professor of Law etc.
PS, they published their "interim report" while they were in Rome and before having had time to report.

 

Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust
The Jewish Virtual Library is against the Pope. Jews in America are often inciting trouble in Israel, the Stolen Land. The current Pope has had little enough to say about ethnic cleansing and mass murders in Israel but the JVL is not making that point.

 

Pope Pius XII -from the Wikipedia
This is a biographical piece. Before trusting the Wikipedia's position on anything even slightly contentious you should have a look at Control of internet information to find out who owns it and who edits it.

 

Papal letter on baptized Jewish children called a 'red herring'
The Jerusalem Report takes an anti-papal line but tells us that two Jews who are involved thought the letter was an irrelevance.   They push the story that Pius should have done more to help Jews. There is not a word about helping Gypsies, homosexuals or other undesirables.

 

Righteous Gentiles
QUOTE
A relentless band of propagandists has convinced much of the world that Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church, in the face of the great moral crisis of the twentieth century, were little more than Nazi lapdogs. The myth of “Hitler’s pope,” however, is grounded not in the facts of history but in the ideological agenda of Pius’s detractors. Given unprecedented access to Church archives—including a confidential Vatican report on Pius XII—Ronald J. Rychlak documents the heroic response of the Holy Father and countless other Catholics to the plight of Jews under Nazi rule.

From the end of World War II until well after his death, Pius XII was universally respected for his leadership in the extraordinarily difficult years of the Third Reich. The first attack was Rolf Hochhuth’s 1963 play The Deputy, accusing the pope of indifference to Jewish suffering in the Holocaust. John Cornwell revived the charge in Hitler’s Pope (1999), and Gary Wills, James Carroll, and Daniel Goldhagen have made the revisionist attack on the wartime Church a popular genre.

Rychlak exposes the inconsistent charges, false allegations, and manufactured evidence against Pius XII and his predecessor, the German clergy, and the Catholic Church under Nazi occupation. His comprehensive and thoroughly documented account establishes once and for all that the Catholic Church under Pius XII, far from being indifferent to the Jews, was dedicated to saving them from the Nazis at all costs. The fruit of this concern was the rescue of over half a million Jews from the death camps. Rychlak lays to rest the “black legend” of the Church during World War II, showing that Pius XII and those he directed deserve the title “righteous gentiles.”
UNQUOTE
Professor Rychlak is lying in his teeth while Jews tell it like it is OR vice versa. There is no middle ground. Given the Jewish track record of cunning, lying, treachery fraud, slaving, political manipulation, mass murder et cetera the choice is easy. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.

 

Sacred Causes: Religion and Politics from the European Dictators to Al Qaeda: Pt. II by Michael Burleigh
and reviewed in The Telegraph on 15 October 2006 tells us at some length that Pope Pius was lied about. A third of his book explains that Holy Mother Church was very important in opposing Adolf throughout the time of the Third Reich.

Haaretz is helping defame Pope Pius. They do sometimes tell the truth about Jewish evil as well.

 

Pope Pius Did Help Jews Escape Nazis [ 17 June 2009 ]
QUOTE
ROME (JTA) -- A New York-based foundation says it will release original documents showing that controversial wartime Pope Pius XII worked to aid Jews during the Holocaust. In a statement Tuesday, Pave the Way Foundation President  Gary Krupp said the 2,300 pages of documents, dating from 1940-45, were discovered through the foundation's private research and provide "strong support to the argument that Pope Pius XII -- Eugenio Pacelli -- worked diligently to save Jews from Nazi tyranny."........ Krupp, who is Jewish,..... announced last year that Pave the Way,...... would investigate the papacy of Pius XII by interviewing eyewitnesses and gathering publicly available documentation and newspaper accounts.

The aim of the investigation is to disprove critics who accuse Pius of having turned a blind eye to Jewish suffering during the Holocaust. In his statement, Krupp criticized historians with "private agendas" for having "let down" the public by failing to research properly.
UNQUOTE
The Holocaust® Industry is a major racket. Using it to browbeat Catholics into accepting the Jew's version of truth is one of the reasons for telling lies about Pope Pius.

 

New biography of Pope Pius XII rejects charges of anti-Semitism [ 29 May 2007 ]
QUOTE
Accusations that wartime Pope Pius XII was an anti-Semite who turned a blind eye to the Holocaust are part of a "black legend" not supported by historical documents, the author of a new biography says..... Some Jews have accused Pius, who reigned from 1939 to 1958, of being indifferent to the Holocaust and not speaking out against Hitler. His supporters consider him a holy man who worked behind the scenes to help Jews throughout Europe.

Tornielli's latest book, published by Mondadori, also includes excerpts from letters the future pope wrote to his family in the early 1930s when he was Vatican ambassador in Germany, expressing concern over the rise of Hitler.
UNQUOTE
Haaretz sounds more or less even handed on this one. The case against him is essentially fraudulent.

 

Vatican snubs Israel for noting Pope Pius's dubious reaction to the Holocaust  [ 13 April 2007 ]
QUOTE
Monsignor Antonio Franco, the Vatican ambassador to Israel, will not attend the Holocaust Day memorial services at Yad Vashem as an expression of the Vatican's dissatisfaction with a photograph of Pope Pius XII at the museum. The caption notes the Pope's dubious response to the Holocaust.
UNQUOTE
Things are tough all over. Telling lies about Pope Pius is a Jewish propaganda thing - see Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust. The World Jewish Congress took Germans and Swiss for $20 billion. Not much of it got to the survivors. See A third of Holocaust survivors in Israel live in poverty
