Pius XII: A Pope Shrouded in Darkness
by From Hero or Villain: More Prisoners of Eternity.
" Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power, thy right dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the greatness of thine excellency, thou have overthrown them that rose up against thee, thou sendest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble."( Book of Moses ).
In April,1941, Pius granted a private audience to Ante Pavelic, President of the Nazi Puppet Government in Croatia, a murderous regime, so murderous in fact that even the Nazi’s felt compelled to intervene to curtail some of its excesses. It was Pavelic’s stated aim to convert, expel, or exterminate all Jews, Serbs and Gypsies in Croatia, and as many as 700,000 were murdered. Pius never even as much as condemned the forced conversions, done in his name and for the Church over which he presided. In 1945, fleeing the Soviet advance Pavelic holed up in Rome where he was given shelter by leading catholics. Provided with a passport by the Vatican he was smuggled out of Italy to Argentina, just like many other Nazi’s who escaped justice via the Catholic ratline.
Similarly, the clerico-fascist regime of Josef Tiso in Slovakia was overwhelmingly endorsed by the Catholic hierarchy. In 1942, under German pressure it began to deport its Jews. As a Catholic State with direct ties to the Vatican, Pius felt obliged to intervene. By October, 1942, the deportations had ceased but by this time 58,000, or 75% of the total, had already been murdered. But it was an example of what direct action on the part of the Church might have achieved. In April, 1947, Josef Tiso was hanged for war crimes still wearing his clerical robes.
In October, 1941, Pius was asked by the American representative to the Vatican to openly condemn the atrocities against the Jews. His reply was that the Church wished to remain neutral. Again, in January, 1943, the President of the Polish Government in exile, Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz, asked the Pope to condemn the atrocities in Poland, again he refused. When Mussolini, under German pressure, began to round up the Jews in Rome ready for deportation to Concentration Camps in the East, the Pope wrung his hands and did nothing.
Pope Pius XII, has many supporters and apologists who would rush to his defence. It is said that on hearing of the full horror of the holocaust he wept, and that he did much on a personal level to help those fleeing from tyranny, providing them with practical aid and financial assistance. that he established safe-houses, organised escape routes and gathered valuable intelligence. But it is not as a man but as a Pope that he must be judged. Some might say he preserved the integrity of the Church when its very continued existence was in peril. But then what use is a Church that turns a blind eye to mass-murder? In the final analysis, we have to judge: was Pope Pius XII, a man who did his best in impossible circumstances? Or was he, as the British Government described him in 1941, the greatest moral coward of our times?
The recently departed Pope John Paul II, just prior to his death began the process that will lead to Pius XII becoming a Saint.

ROME HAS FOUGHT TO KEEP HER fires of control alive by implementing the following doctrines.
“A HERETIC MERITS the pains of FIRE…By THE GOSPEL, the canons, CIVIL LAW, & CUSTOM, heretics MUST BE BURNED.”
The Textbook of Popery, p 164

The catholic sect….Damns….and condemns…the BIBLE BELEIVER / non catholic Christ ian…… as serving ANOTHER EVIL JESUS….
Rome SAYS
all …outside the catholic church, Jews or heretics…cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the catholic church.
Pope Eugenius IV, in \\\”Bull of Union with the Copts\\\”, Council of Florence, Session 11, on February 4, 1442.
Rome SAYS
\\\’Heretics / NOT MEMBERS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ….. DO NOT HOLD TO CATHOLIC DOCTRINE) & worship a GOD
WHO IS A LIAR, & CHRIST WHO IS A LIAR.\\\’
St. Augustine, (quoted in \\\’Patrologiae Cursus Completus: Series Graca\\\’, by Fr. J. P. Migne, Paris: 1866, 42:207).
BUT Rome SAYS …….Muslims & ISLAM //OOH they ALL SERVE OUR GOD…..and we Kiss and BOW down to their QURAN
*& service ALLAH
THIS IS ROMES …ATTACK ON THE BIBLE AND ITS believers,,, [ CHRISTS CHURCH ‘ ]]] contradiction,,,IS,,manifested
Rome …. has burnt thousands of BIBLE TRANSLATED in non~ italian……burned the translators.,,,,condemned them to hell
CLAIMING all non catholics.& JEWS..serve A JESUS WHO IS A LIAR AND EVIL FRAUD

How come Atheists have killed more than the Catholic Church is responsible for?
Hitler
Stalin
Po Pot
Just to name a few. There numbers are greater than ours. Im not making excuses but those times were different and so were the mindsets of the time. Im sure in war there are always negatives on any side.
Also I suggest before you condemn the Catholic Church a heresy you look into its History of the Early Church Fathers.
Pope John Paul II has before his death already apologized for what we Catholics have done in the past.
Surely we have not committed the most attrocities in the past?
If not before 2014 is when the historical records for Pius XII will be opened.
