Film on Hitler's plan to kidnap Pius XII

Film makers are taking advantage the Pope is out of town and using Saint Peters square as the backdrop for a new movie.

In the shadows of the dome, you might run into a group of men dressed up as nazi soldiers, classic cars from the 1940s, swiss guardsmen and even a small tank.

A recreation of how this place used to look like
over 9 months when the nazis occupied Rome.

The film is an international production that recreates Hitlers project to take Pope Pius XII hostage.

The films protagonist is actor James Cromwell. Today is the last day of filming but since the actor has not been able to visit a much younger stunt double fills his shoes.

The swiss guards probably have toughest mission in the film-to protect the Pope. They have to come face to face with the bad guys in the movie, Gestapo agents, who control the delicate border between Italy and the Vatican. The Vatican was the place where hundreds of people looked for refuge.

A story filled with drama that will unfold on the silver screen next year.

@19lfm12 said: The only thing true in Brown's works is the power, hegemony, greed, & complete lack of the love of Christ or faith in Him exhibited by Opus Dei & the Vatican.

All else is pure fiction.

BENEDICT XVI is A GREAT IMPOSTOR like J.P.II. On May 13, 1981 J.P.II &HIS COOPERATORS acted: J.P.II was WOUNDED! EVIDENCES on 2 PHOTOS: one in a film "Pope Assassination Attempt" by "NewsbugAZ" at 3:40 - 3:50; second in a film "Who is behind the shooting of John Paul II ?" by "romereports" at 0:14 - 0:15. There are TOO MUCH BLOOD on J.P.II's RIGHT HAND to BE ALIVE after MINUTES& NOT A BLOOD TRACE of A WOUND on HIS WHITE CLOTHES & J.P.II REMOVED HANDS despite HE should have KEPT HANDS on A WOUND!

Hitler's Pope is nothing but propaganda. Thousands upon thousands of jews thanked Pope Pius XII for his heroic acts to save them. He ordered that all monastaries be opened for the jews. Even the chuef rabbi converted to catholicism and took the name "Eugenio" because of his bravery. All this bullcrap about "Hitler's Pope" is nothing but made up facts and lies used in hopes of attacking the church because of it's stances on abortion, marrige, contraception, and other teachings on morality.

@nuntym The Holy See is the Vatican State. The term "Holy See" even though religious, it is used as an official title of the State in Diplomacy. It is quite the trick on behalf of the Vatican to make the whole world call it holy, because the world has to call it like that if it's the state's name. Even UN and Islamic countries refer to it as the "Holy See"

@mardastheEitheist read the book that the chief rabbi of rome wrote himself, we are not naive catholics you ar a nasty person

[avatarspirit57]

@19lfm12 Actually no. The scriptures pertaining to the autobiography of Christ, or as we knw it, the Gospels are written decades after the Ascencion. During those times when the Apostles are close to their old age.

[avatarspirit57]

@mardastheEitheist He was silent because if Vatican falls under Hitler, then nobody would be there to help the Jews.

Sadly the catholic cult exists simply cause it's congregants follow blindly,like they always have done!
