But not all of this is totally new. <br /><br />It was reported many years ago that Pope Pius XII announced that if he were kidnapped by Hitler he would automatically resign as Pope.<br /><br />I suspect that General Wolff was tipped off about this and used this as a further argument to dissuade Hitler.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-28402805119204451052009-04-23T17:28:00.000+01:002009-04-23T17:28:00.000+01:00Ditto to what GOR said.

It really burns me up that Hochhuth's charges gained any credence.<br /><br />Frankly, I for one, am glad that US Newspapers like the Grey Lady are TANKING. Lying pieces of coprolite which deserved to die off years ago. They can't stand it that there are other sources out there such as the internet and talk radio they can not muzzle.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-20422537983512110732009-04-23T14:58:00.000+01:002009-04-23T14:58:00.000+01:00Father:

We will probably never know just how many people were saved through the agency of Pope Pius - by the provision of documents, shelter in convents, monasteries and Catholic homes during the war years.<br /><br />The book “The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican” (1968) and the movie “The Scarlet and The Black” (1983) based on the book, highlighted the work of Mons. Hugh O’Flaherty in saving thousands in Rome and throughout Italy during the Nazi occupation. But that is just one example.<br /><br />There is plenty of blame to go around for the rise of Nazism and the appeasement of Hitler by the world powers in the pre-war years. The actions of the British, American and other governments in refusing admission to Jewish refugees immediately following WWII are also reprehensible and not to be forgotten.<br /><br />That a Pope “with no army” could do so much, with so little, will always be a reflection on those who had so much more - but did less. Anti-Semitism was not confined to Germany in the 1930s and later. And anti-Catholicism is still ‘fair game’ for many today.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.com
