Maybe they should have written his speech for him.
What’s really going on here is the media’s hateful distortion that Popes have been Nazis, historical fact be damned. I know many Jews who simply believe that Pope Pius was a nazi, helped the nazis kill Jews, etc.
It’s very sad and this is a bigotry pure and simple. Pope Pius saved Jews, Catholics were also persecuted in the holocaust, Hitler was anti-Catholic and followed some primitive paganistic religion.
This Pope’s family was in the resistance to Hitler. He was forced into service as a boy at the end of the war, escaping to return to his family.
But let’s all pretend the Pope is a bad guy.
Pope Pius was instrumental in saving 860,000+ Jews, far more than anyone else: dwarfing all other efforts including that of the Red Cross.
Mourners said at his funeral: "May the sun grow cold before we forget what you did for us!".
Well: they did not forget him, but as far as their descendants are concerned it's getting pretty chilly.
Balderdash! Stickelgruber was both baptized and confirmed as a Roman Catholic! Though he wavered on church attendance in his adult life and rambled somewhat about dallying in paganism his statements many times confirmed his Catholicism click here for proof!
The pope is a pitiful man trying to stand in the place of God, and he can never do the job. Why quibble about it?
