Pius XII 
are well known to all the recent controversy over the beatification of Pius XII in progress. Let us first clarify immediately that the protests made by some Jewish circles and secularists are decidedly out of place. As recently stressed by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone: "The canonization is" a religious phenomenon "of" exclusive jurisdiction of the Holy See "." It is not clear as a matter of fact, "inside" the Church is to be decided, or in some way, influenced by external environments, which the Church has little to do. If the Church believes it is right to raise "the honors of the altar" Pius XII, to make it "a model of virtue" for us Catholics, this should not affect those who are not Catholic! In short, as happened a decade ago for the beatification of the Servant of God Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain, (cut short in 1991 for "pressure" external ..) they tend to give rise to rumors and slander that, for the honor of truth, but often for purely ideological reasons, are opposed to action and opinion, unique in this field, the Catholic Church. But what exactly imputes to Pope Pacelli? The most common accusation is certainly that of not having denounced the abhorrent policy of extermination of the Holocaust and had done nothing to avert, or at least limit their victims. However, the recent historiography has highlighted how, in reality, Pius XII did everything possible to save Jews from concentration camps, highlighting the fact that these slanders have no basis in historical documents, but in the ideological motivations (in this read about the 'interview with the director of "Corriere della Sera, Paolo Mieli, of Jewish origin, suspicion of being biased, appeared on the' Osservatore Romano" on October 9, which states that the "black legend" against Pius XII "is a case of bad conscience"). Suffice it to say thanks to many Jews at the end of the war, starting with the 'then Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir, who at the death of Pius XII, in 1958, the Holy See sent a message of condolence in which he could read: "During the decade of Nazi terror, our nation has suffered a terrible martyrdom. The Pope's voice was rose up to condemn the persecutors and to invoke pity for the victims '. It is clear that such a high authority of the Israeli government could not say if these praises the Pope was regarded as an accomplice of Nazi atrocities. Also, according to figures provided by' jew Emilio Pinchas Lapide, historian, diplomat, formerly Israel's consul general in Milan, the Holy See, the messengers and the Catholic Church saved from certain death, between 700,000 and 850,000 Jews. does not exist in the world - well let's not forget we Catholics - an institution or a government that can claim such a function. (The Rudder - September / October 1999, p.. 10-11). Definitely time for a pope who many have dared to define, "the Pope of Hitler. "
