I just read this AP story ---- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070605/ap_on_re_eu/wartime_pope_1
What do you think about it?
Check out the fourth paragraph in particular -- such a bad spin job it's almost comical.
The pope's speaking out would have accelerated the exterminations? First, the Germans really couldn't have done things much faster than they did. Second, since a lot of Catholics tend to hypnotically obey every Vatican edict, perhaps a denunciation would have prompted some heroic life-saving counter-measures. There are numerous accounts of people of all faiths [including Catholics] helping the persecuted; bishops, cardinals, and popes were not included. I have nothing against Catholic people, but the hierarchy of the church is another matter.
