New research reveals Vatican criticism of Holocaust-era pope

By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondent

New research reveals rare criticism from within the Vatican of Holocaust-era pope Pius XII for his silence in the face of the destruction of European Jewry.

Pius XII is controversial due to claims that he knew of the genocide as early as the early 1940s but did not act to stop it.

In 1999, the Vatican appointed the International Catholic-Jewish Historical Commission to investigate the charges against Pius XII, however the panel disbanded after it was refused access to archival material.

Professor Dina Porat, who headed the Project for the Study of Anti-Semitism at Tel Aviv University, centered her research on criticism of Pius XII from the Papal Nuncio Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who fifteen years later became Pope John XXIII.

According to Porat's research, in 1943, Roncalli, then the nuncio in Turkey, wrote to the Catholic president of Slovakia asking him to stop the deportation of Slovakian Jews to Auschwitz. He wrote the letter at the behest of Jewish Agency delegate Haim Barlas with whom he had a close personal relationship.

In 1944, Barlas received the "Auschwitz Protocols," detailed accounts by Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler who had escaped the concentration camp in April of that year. Barlas sent the diaries directly to Roncalli, later writing in his memoirs that Roncalli was shocked and read them with tears. According to Barlas, after reading the eyewitness accounts, Roncalli told him he was filled with resentment towards his superiors, "whose power and influence are great, but who refrain from action and resourcefulness in extending concrete help."

Roncalli told Barlas he would send the protocols to the Vatican immediately. This does not correspond with the official Vatican version, according to which Pope Pius XII only received the protocols in October of that year. A number of days after Roncalli's conversation with Barlas, the pope sent a letter to Hungarian Regent Horthy asking him to stop the "human suffering" in his country, without explicitly referencing the Jews.

Deportations to Auschwitz did stop shortly after that, but only after 400,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered at the extermination camp.

Most people think the holocaust was a German agenda against the so-called Jews ... when it was actually a Zionist agenda against Jews, and Hitler was the agent. The only people more manipulated by the zionazis than the goy are the Jews themselves.

Not only was the Vatican silent ... they forged passports, changed identities, and provided ships to transport Nazis out of Germany at wars end. All of the WW II history you were taught in the Public Fool System is bullshit.

America, Britain and even Russia siphoned off thousands of nazis, and then incorporated them into their governments. Allan Dulles and J.J. McCloy were instrumental in bringing the nazis into American Intelligence through the OSS/CIA ... and they both sat on the Warren Commission that swept Kennedy's murder under the rug.

Who was pope when the Russian Orthodox were being murdered by Lenin/Stalin/etc?
