"Jewish leaders are calling on the Vatican to ensure that all relevant archival materials related to Pius XII, also known as Eugenio Pacelli, be made available before "deciding on his sainthood.
Jesuit Father Peter Gumpel, who has collected evidence to support the sainthood, told CNS that millions of Catholics back the sainthood. They are upset that Pius isn’t advancing, said Gumpel, who also acknowledged that Jewish opinion is divided about the Pope’s wartime role.

A saint is a saint made by God; not the Church. What you've quoted is about the Church deciding on the acknowledgement. Do I really have to explain it all over again?

It would be easier if you just reread the thread. If your mind is set that the Church is doing something it is not, and you are not going to be persuaded, it would be best to just drop it.
