O.K., point taken, but you do realise that he was and is a practising Catholic, right? And what he was saying must have really gotten the Vatican uncomfortable; I would not be at all surprised if the Vatican didn't lean heavily upon Cromwell to "take back" calling out Pope Pius XII's evil deeds. So he must have been pressured to "apologise" for revealing some ugly truths, and did so within the pages of a follow-up book.

I believe this person is a very valid source of historical truth & accuracy. What is not to believe? Look at the exhaustive piles of research that this person has, from literally years of careful searching and compilation? The truth is out there, people, if we are willing to open up our minds to it.


On "Hitler's Pope" -

Cornwell, a best-selling author and Vatican observer, said he was given access to secret church files because he had initially planned to defend the pope against charges he was silent about death camps. But after studying Pope Pius XII's own files and depositions taken under oath 30 years ago to support his eventual canonization, Cornwall said he was in a "state of moral shock."

Cornwall says that when the pope, Eugenio Pacelli, came to power in 1939, he knew about Hitler's plans for a "Final Solution" and was begged repeatedly by bishops in Germany, even by an emissary from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to use his authority to condemn Nazi atrocities.

But he said nothing, and never acted to stop Catholic clergymen who collaborated in racial certification to identify Jews before they were sent to death camps.
