Pius XII...

...and, slowly, the tide is turning so that the truth is being revealed about  the Vatican and the war years.

I've been  re-reading Hitler, The War and the Pope: a must-read for anyone who wants to take this whole discussion to any relevant level. It's important to talk - while we still can - to those who lived through those years in Rome, to get a flavour of what it was all like. I found it gripping to talk to a Jewish Holocaust survivor when researching my book on the nuns who hid him and members of his family.

EWTN has done an honourable job of getting a truthful discussion going on this topic in recent years. Catholic groups and parishes could help. I would love more Catholic groups in Britain to know the story of Mother Riccarda Hambrough, the brave British nun who risked her own life to save a Jewish family...anyone interested need only send a Comment to this blog, with an email address included in the text, so that I can make contact...
