THE VATICAN NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR ITS ROLE IN THE HOLOCAUST AND FOR POPE PIUS’ XII BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE NAZIS AND HITLER.
1)

I’m not going to rehash all the details, but I do want to point out some of the weak excuses we have been told for the Pope’s and the Vatican’s behavior.
2)

The Vatican claims that Pius XII was not antisemitic, that he did what he did vis à vis Hitler to protect Catholics, and further the Vatican claims that the Pope saved the lives of 1000’s of Jews.

So, let’s see about these claims.
3)

Did he save 1000’s of Jews? Yes. He saved 1000’s of Jews who either (1) Agreed to baptism, (2) Jewish Children taken from families and Baptized into the Church, but really, no Jews who remained Jews were saved by the Pope.
4)

In fact, the Bishop of my wife’s home town, Florence Italy, & a friend of my wife’s great uncle who together helped Jews get documents so Jews could be smuggled out of Italy,...
5)

this Bishop who should have been praised by the Church for resisting the Nazis & helping Jews, guess what Pope Pius did to him?

After the war, after the Nazi defeat, the Pope demoted him as punishment for defying the orders of the Pope.
6)

What order did he defy? He helped Jews survive (including relatives of my wife).

So, here we really have the truth. Pope Pius ordered the Catholic Workers League in Germany to join with the Nazi Party. He did not have to do that.
7)

He saved Jews only those that became Catholics.

And he punished Catholic Clergy who actually helped Jews after the war was finished.

And all the while, he was providing papers and transportation to Nazi criminals to leave Europe to Latin America.
8)

So, what’s the truth? There it is.

And today, the Vatican has aligned itself with those on the left that organized caravans of illegal migrants into the USA to interfere with US policy because Trump said he does not listen to the Pope.
9)

And now watch how the Catholic Church will not back the principles of Trump's nominations to the Supreme Court, choosing to side with the left. Loyal believing Catholics who care about the Church, but who will be abandoned by it."
