Exposing Christianity

[Randy Carson]

Is it your opinion that these activities were orchestrated by the Pope or other senior officials in the Vatican?

Or were these efforts made by a few priests acting on their own initiatives?

Look up Alois Hudal and Krunoslav Stjepan Draganović. Both high ranking clergymen operating directly from Rome and with the knowledge if not support of the Vatican.

You can wash your hands on the matter and say the pope wasn't directly involved or orchestrated it - and you would be right. Or you can open your eyes and see that not everything was rosy. Pius XII was a weak personality, who tried to swing both ways during and after the war. On the one hand he had strong affections for Germany, since he was Nuntius there and helped negotiate the concordat. On the other hand he really helped jews during the occupation.

And after the war, it's the same picture. The so called Rat Line, through which many high ranking Nazis escaped, wouldn't have been possible without the help of high ranking clergy. But it also existed because US services supported it, in order to get certain individuals out, they had recruited against the Soviets.
