Catholic-Jewish Controversy Slows Path to Sainthood for Pope Pius XII
During the meeting, Benedict reportedly promised to "consider the matter seriously." The Vatican's archivist, meanwhile, has estimated it will likely be six or seven years before the archive will be open to the public. Only the pope can decide if he is willing to wait that long.

The Nazi Pope
What I cannot understand is how Americans could have continued with the Roman Catholic religion during WWII no matter how that cult threw the fear of hell into them. Conscience is conscience and right is right, wrong is wrong.
Most Nazis were Roman Catholics, the pope refused to stand up against mass murder of the Jews and the Roman Papacy was located in an Axis country.
Search for "Pope gives Nazi salute"
Forget revisionists. Search web for "Pope and cardinals give Nazi salute." You will find many photos of Catholic high officials with Hitler, saluting. The SS were all Catholics like Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Eichmann, Dr Mengele, etc.The Vatican must have received trillions of dollars in tithes from Catholic Nazis. It was the most capitalist regime. It even sold dental gold from victims, and their hair, fat and ashes. Hiding truth and lying makes it possible for these crimes to happen again.
Ridiculous Argument
Pius XII said plenty...he said enough for the Nazis to plot his assasination. Pius XII was too busy saving Jewish lives (est. 800,000) to make any more pointless statements than he had too.
The arguement here seems to be this... if Pius XII gave a formulaic and ultra specific speech stating that the killing millions of God's creatures was evil then the Nazis would say, "Oh yeah!! We're gonna stop right now."
Even if the Nazis were a Catholic group (which it obvioulsy was not) it would be ridiculous to believe this.
