"Voices in hindsight are judging the "Popes" silence without considering the consequences of "speaking out." Those critics do not recall that the Pope had been advised by Jewish leaders and by the bishops in occupied countries not to protest publicly against Nazi atrocities. However, Pius XII frequently invoked "God's vengeance" on the persecutors. His words were the brave words of a diplomat who put focus on "those who are responsible."

"Whenever Pius XII spoke out, there was immediate retaliation by the Nazis. There were more than sixty protests! The so-called "silence" of Pope Pius XII is a myth."

his main mission is to speak the truth clearly and publicly, and this he failed to do.

Funny how those alive at the time understood his many statements perfectly.

The Pope was criticized at the time for losing his moral authority.

The Allied governments spoke out much stronger than the Pope. Were they anti-Jewish?

The Pope was considered an Allied sympathizer by Germans and silent by the Allied governments. He was trying to be neutral.

By the way, I am Catholic, and I hate how holy Hell comes upon any ideas which suggest that the Popes are bad. It is Catholic propaganda, the Catholic party line.
