They also tried to smear him as "antisemitic", yet the former PM of Israel Golda Meir,as well as other rabbis in Europe, are on record praising the Pope for all he did in saving jewish lives !
Michael, I grew up Greek Orthodox and my husband is Atheist. Our daughter joined the Catholic Church at 34 and I am so very proud of her. Since then I've watched and read much about the Catholic faith and your channel is one of my go to resources. Thank you for being you. Please pray for us.
I am Orthodox Christian, and from a Navy family ☦ On the matter of fighting evil, I stand with Michael. We are, after all, one body in Christ. Thank you for this very important series!

Pius XII is the greatest pope in the past several centuries. In my book, The Godmother, his secretary of 41 years recounts some of his magnificent contributions to humanity.
Cardinal Pacelli (the future Pius XII) was the Papal Legate to the Weimer Republic/Germany. So he knew of Hitler and what sort of person he was. After returning to Rome and Hitler rose to power, Pope Pius XI published the only Catholic Encyclical not written in Latin, "Mit Brennender Sorge" (With Burning Concern) It was a scathing rebuke on Naziism and had to be smuggled into Germany. Though it was published under Pius XI, the author is believed to be Cardinal Pacelli (Pius XII)
I'm not Catholic, but I have quite a bit of admiration for Pope Pius XII. Really looking forward to watching this!
Just read a book about his holiness. A Jewish-American historian gave a stirring defense of Pope Pius. I pray he can join the righteous among the nations at Vad Yashem
Secrets are kept Censorship is enforced…
This is so well made !! Finally Pope Pius XII gets elevated and the lies are exposed how he’s been vilified
