Hitler The War And The Pope (Expanded)

Despite his many brilliant accomplishments, perhaps no modern-day leader of the Catholic
Church has triggered more controversies than Pope Pius XII. Some historians have argued
that, in light of the Church’s concerns about Communism, he was pro-Nazi during the 1930’s. He has been accused of signing the Reichskonkordat as a signal to Adolf Hitler of Rome’s favor; of dissuading Pope Pius XI from condemning Kristallnacht; and, of remaining
silent in face of proof that the Holocaust was taking place.
