Re: [Peckers_Pics] Re: Pope Benedict

Gentlemen, I am a historian.Pius XII was declared by the Jewish People RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS which is a high honor. There is documentation that does show through diplomatic circles that he did everything possible to protest. Statistics show he was able to smuggle thousands of Jews out of Italy, and hide many others...A secret order was given to take Jews into convents, monasteries, etc and give them other identities . This communication was sent through out Europe. Madeline Albright and countless host of others were saved by that order. There was much said after the war, and Pius XII did much to help.

Butch (and all in the group), I am sorry that I wasn't more clear.  I didn't mean that Pope Benedict does not speak of the Nazi attempted extermination of the entire world's Jews (although I don't know that he DOES, either).  I meant that Pope Pius XII knew everything during World War II and refused to mention it or acknowledge that he knew it, during or even after the war.  I do think Pope Benedict is a walking disaster, but it is Pope Pius XII that I think should have been dethroned:  someone who does nothing to protest or stop evil that he knows about with hard proof is part of the evil, not just an innocent bystander.
 
I appreciate your comment--especially since it tells me that I need to let my messages cool a bit and reread them before firing them off.  Thanks. Larry Jones
