Author John Cornwell documents how
Pope Pius XII's wartime reticence to
condemn the Holocaust was a result
not only of his personal antipathy toward
the Jews but consistent with a career
dedicated to enhancing papal power.

really make a difference during the
nightmare of the Holocaust was exact-
ly the kind of individual who would
have put saving Jews at the heart of his
moral and strategic approach.
Was it possible, considering the his-
tory of 2,000 years, for any pope at
that time to be that kind of leader? It
is here that Cornwell's book makes the
greatest impact.
The totality of his information
and analysis leads to the conclusion
that indeed it could have been dif-
ferent, that another leader without
the need for such dominance — and
with room for a sense of responsibil-
ity for the Jews being slaughtered —
could have truly earned the beatifi-
cation that is now being considered
for Pope Pius XII. ❑

human history. ...
His failure to respond to
the enormity of the Holocaust
was more than a personal fail-
ure, it was a failure of the papal
office itself and the prevailing
culture of Catholicism. That
failure was implicit in the rifts
Catholicism created and sus-
tained — between the sacred
and the profane, the spiritual
and the secular, the body and
the soul, clergy and laity, the
exclusive truth of Catholicism
over all other confessions and
faiths. It was an essential feature
of Pacellfs ideology of papal
power, moreover, that Catholics
should abdicate, as Catholics,
their social and political respon-
sibility for what happened in
the world and turn their gaze
upward to the Holy Father and,
beyond, to eternity. ...
... From a variety of evidence, it
is clear that Pacelli believed that the
Jews had brought misfortune on
their own heads; intervention on
their behalf could draw the Church
into alliances with forces — princi-
pally the Soviet Union — whose
ultimate aim was the destruction of
the institutional Church. For this
reason, as war began, he was deter-
mined to distance himself from any
appeal on behalf of Jews at the level
of international politics. ...
.. That failure to utter a can-
did word about the Final Solution
in progress proclaimed to the
world that the Vicar of Christ was
not moved to pity and anger.
From this point of view he was
the ideal pope for Hitler's
unspeakable plan. He was Hitler's
pawn. He was Hider's pope. ❑

SINCE 1920
THE TRADITION CONTINUES
Pope Pius XII broadcasts
to the world with
Giovanni Montini
(the future Pope Paul W)
at his left shoulder. His
1942 Christmas Eve
broadcast trivialized and
denied the Nazi Final
Solution. Some members
o the Jewish community
ave declared the Vatican's
push to declare Pope Pius
XII a saint a direct insult
to the memory ofJews
who were murdered
during the Holocaust.
