Historical Truth and Experience
By Prof Dr Rainulf Stelzmann
Pius XII was the Pope of the Catholic Youth Movement in Germany during the thirties, especially during the Third Reich when it had to go "underground." This fact may explain why the recent publications condemning the Pope are deeply disturbing to the surviving members of "Neues Deutschland," "Katholische Pfadfinder," "Kolping," and other groups of the movement which flourished before Hitler came to power.
By diligently collecting and analysing the newspaper articles, books, and Vatican documents of the time in question Margherita Marchione's "Consensus & Controversy" reestablishes the facts the generation of the Second World War knew by experience: Pius XII did his best to help the victims of the Nazi regime. He saved more of them than all other national leaders, including the Zionist activists of the time, together.
From personal experience I can corroborate two facts the author elaborates:
1.) As a student teacher in the industrial district of Germany in 1955 I rented a room from a Communist family. The husband had been a miner. When the couple found out that I was a Catholic, they started to run down Pius XII as "an enemy of the People" who had supported Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. When their attempt to "convert" me to their ideology failed, they found an excuse to end the rental agreement and I had to start again looking for living quarters in the bombed-out city of Essen.
2.) The very same year I visited Rome where I stayed as a guest of the Trappist monastery Tre Fontane on the outskirts of the city. In the center of one of the courtyards I noticed an obilisk with many obviously Jewish names carved into the pedestal and all the way to the top of the structure. The monk in charge of the guests explained to me that these people were the Jews who at the request of the Pope had found shelter in the monastary during the war. Most of them had later immigrated to the USA. They had sent the monument as a token of their appreciation . With a twinkle in his eye the monk added: "Would've been nice if they had also sent some money."
This "archeological" piece of evidence confirms the facts related in "Consensus & Controversy." The immediate experience of witnesses will add a basis of validity to the understanding of a period which should never be neglected by later historians. Sister Marchione quotes Golda Meir and many other Jews whose testimonies fulfill this requirement....P> that condemn Pius XII are deeply disturbing"

A Thorough and Meticulous Defense of Pope Pius XII
By Steven K. Szmutko
Sister Margherita, a member of the Filippini Sisters as well as a noted professor at Fairleigh Dickinson, presents a meticulously researched and highly effective rebuttal to the current condemnation of Pope Pius XII's actions (or supposed inactions) with respect to the Holocaust during World War II. In recent years, several books castigated the wartime Pontiff for his failure to protect the lives of European Jews during a time of great atrocity. Some have even gone to the extent of painting a portrait of Pope Pius XII as an ineffectual bureaucrat at best, or a Nazi collaborator at worst. As the author demonstrates through a compendium of letter, newspaper articles, documents and other direct sources, the Vatican in general, and Pope Pius XII in particular, acted within the constraints of an isolated nonmilitary power, to save countless lives through a variety of diplomatic and political channels.
Those who would accuse the pope of Nazi complicity often do so from a fundamental lack of understanding of the Vatican's Power in the first half of the 20th century. In part, this is due to the Catholic Church's outreach in today's era of media saturation as well as the worldwide visibility of John Paul II, the first Pope to recognize the power of global communication. The Vatican in the 1920's - 1940's was one of relative isolation. Its days of any military power were long past and it was surrounded by numerous hostile political powers. Initial attempts to condemn the Nazi war machine directly were met with swift and escalating retaliation by that government. Given the overwhelming military might of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, the Pope was unable to prevail by military might and was forced to save lives within the limitations of its diplomatic and spiritual offices.
This effort was recognized by many of the world's governments, other Christian denominations, and most significantly, by the Jewish people and the State of Israel itself. Only in more recent decades were the realities of the Vatican lacquered with the brush of contemporary expectations. The book provides a factual and accurate basis for refuting these allegations, casting a bright light on the truth of activities during what was one of the darkest periods of human history.

A Good Start
By A Customer
Seeks to present a balanced view of the pope, contrary to some other recent bashes of the man who is credited with saving the lives of thousands of Jews. Although the author may be too close to the subject for what some would argue about objectivity. A very useful resource on a timely topic.
