Biography of Pope Pius XII- Part One

Some months ago I posted a video of the coronation of Pope Pius XII. I am finally posting the video which I took the footage of the coronation from.

This is the first part of an Italian biography of Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli, featuring his life from his birth to his ascension to the throne of St. Peter as Pope Pius XII.

We should all pray for the beatification of Pius XII.

thats not what the 860,000 thousand jewish survivors that claim to be saved by the church think. Einstien even praised pius xii for his resistance of the nazi's. The cheif rabbi of rome coverted after the war and took pius's christian name for his baptismal name. Anti-catholic lies like that have only spawned in the last 30 or so years. You are an ignorant fool. If you were alive in the 1940's you would have been killing jew's with Hitler.

@metapaneco12 the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I had never any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration becuase the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess, that what I once despised, I now praise unreservedly." Declaration of Albert Einstein, Europes most prominent Jew and the 20th C. genius, published in Time magazine December 23, 1940 (p40)

@metapaneco12 "Being a lover of freedom, when the revolution came in Germany I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the case of truth; but no, the universities immediately were silenced. Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers, whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom. But they, like the universities were silenced in a few short weeks. ONLY the Catholic Church stood squarely across...

@metapaneco12 Gestapo report on Pius XII's Christmas Sermon, 1942: "In a manner never known before, the Pope has repudiated the NAZI New European Order....It is true, the Pope does not refer to the NAZIS in Germany by name, but his speech is one long attack on everthing we stand for...Here he is clearly speaking on behalf of the Jews." "Again and again reports reached us that the Pope is feverishly at work against us." Expert from diary of Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers propaganda chief July 27 1943

@metapaneco12 Hey buddy, here's some GERMAN sources: "The election of Pope Pius XII is not accepted with favor in Germany because he was always opposed to Nazism." Berliner Morgenpost, a Nazi organ, on March 3, 1939, the day after Pius XII was elected. "The voice of Pius XII is a lonely voice in the silence and darkness enveloping Europe this Christmas...He is about the ONLY ruler left on the Continent of Europe who dares to raise his voice at all." NY Times editorial. December 25, 1941

@metapaneco12 of the Germans voted for the Nazis. Pope Pius XII very frequently spoke out against treatment of Jews on Vatican Radio. Also, German resistence approached Pope Pius XII and asked his support in getting rid of Hilter. The Pope forwarded this request to the British, who didn't want anything to do with it. I can add on if you want more examples. But I never said he was afraid of Hitler. Was he? Maybe, I don't know. And I also don't know if he was the most powerful man...

@metapaneco12 to be too vocal or the Jews would suffer more. It's a damn if you do, damn if you don't. You want to know specifics? In 1932 Pope Pius XI wrote the encyclical Mit Brennadeir Sorge (With Burning Anxiety). In it, the Pope explained the dangers of Nazism and begged the Germans not to vote for the Nazis. It was smuggled into Germany and read from every pulpit. In the 1933 elections, only Catholic Bavaria voted against the Nazis (they voted for the Katholic Centre Partei), the rest

@metapaneco12 Hey buddy. Ever heard of Edith Stein? Born into a German-Jewish family, turned atheist while a teenager. Converted to Christianity and baptised Rom.Cath. in 1934. In 1942 the Cath.Church bishops in Amsterdam "spoke out" about the Holocaust. In response, the Nazis rounded up 2000 Jews in Amsterdam, including her, and sent them to their deaths. That, along with the Nazi reaction of a French Jew killing one German officer setting off Crystal Night, convinced Pope Pius XII NOT to...

@FFFFbody your right, The U.S didnt enter the war to save jews. And yes i have heard and read about Crystall night im currently taking Ap Euro. So your telling me that the most power man on earth was afraid of hitler, and thats why he didnt say or did much to save lives or to end the war? I find that kind of fishy.. and to answer your question, no one else could have done more and the man that could have didnt thats a shame. Im disapointed on this man.

@metapaneco12 Being Jewish, I'm sure you've heard of Crystall Night. That happened as a result of one young French Jew killing a Nazi/German officer in France, I think in 1936?. Look what happened when ONE Jew killed ONE German. The pope knew that if he "made a lot of noise" or "rocked the boat" too much, the Nazis would've increased the intensity of the persecution. So he kind of "worked behind the scenes" if you will. One could always ask why he didn't do more. But who else could've done more?
