"Pope Pius XII, worried about burning his bridges with Germany, never made a clear statement denouncing the singular monstrosity of the extermination of millions of Jews. Moreover, he did not do so after the war either, which is profoundly shocking," the organization, Conseil Representatif des Institutions juives de France, said in a statement.

"If carried out, the plan to beatify Pius XII, who was pope between 1939 and 1958, would deal a severe blow to relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish world," the statement said.

860,000 Jews saved - according to other Jews.

When a single Protestant anywhere can truthfully claim to have saved even one-tenth of that, let me know.

Thanks for the ping.

Just a passing thought. We are approaching an election in which one of the candidates Obama is not only pro abortion, but is pro infanticide. Bambi also wants to redistribute the wealth just as the socialists in Germany wanted to.

I just read that the Roman Catholic Bishops in VA. told members of their church that to vote for someone who supports abortion you must have a reason that is as least as morally grave. I'm paraphrasing, so if I have it wrong please let me know.

Now might be a good time to see how any of our churches behave in this election. I think the parallels to the past are striking.
