Unsealed Vatican Papers Reveal Pope Pius XII Knew About the Holocaust

Unsealed Vatican Papers Reveal Pope Pius XII Knew About the Holocaust

Vatican 2

Reformed theologian Loraine Boettner, who lived in the time of Vatican II and studied it closely, wrote that the council “makes it abundantly clear that Rome has no intention of revising any of her basic doctrines, but only of updating her methods and techniques for more efficient administration and to present a more attractive appearance. This is designed to make it easier for the Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches to return to her fold. There is no indication that she has any intentions of entering into genuine give-and-take church unity negotiations. Her purpose is not a union, but absorption. Church union with Rome is strictly a one-way street. The age-old danger that Protestantism has faced from the Roman Church has not diminished; in fact, it may well have increased. For through this less offensive posture and this superficial ecumenicism, Rome is much better situated to carry out her program of eliminating opposition and moving into a position of world dominance. An infallible church cannot repent” (from the preface of Roman Catholicism, 1985).

Vatican, Pope Pius xii

World War II: A Unique Money-Making Opportunity

March 2, 1939, Eugenio Pacelli was elected Pope. He had been the papal nuncio to Germany and had a great fondness for everything German. His family was among the Black Nobles, Roman aristocratic families that remained loyal to the Pope when the Italian nationalist army took Rome and confiscated the Pope’s kingdom in 1870. Early in his pontificate, Pope Pius XII sent Hitler a message assuring the Führer of the Vatican’s desire for good working relations with the Nazis. Shortly afterward, he directed his diplomatic representative, the Papal Nuncio to Germany, Archbishop Orsenigo, to fete (honor) Hitler on his fiftieth birthday.5

Pope Pius XII’s policy was silence in response to the atrocities of the Holocaust and the slaughter of Serbs in Croatia. Priests and bishops were actively involved in the politics and killing machinery of Croatia and Slovakia where hundreds of thousands, possibly more than a million, Jews and Orthodox Christian Serbs and others were killed. Though repeatedly implored by eyewitnesses to speak out against the brutality, the Pope remained silent. Even when the Nazis entered Italy, where 1200 Jews living in Rome were rounded up and transported along streets that lay just 250 yards (approximately 230 m) from the Vatican – virtually right under the Pope’s nose – to a military detention center, Pope Pius did nothing to stop the violence. A thousand of those Jews, mostly women, and children, were put in rail cars two days later and sent to Auschwitz.

Germany’s Ambassador reported, “The Curia is upset considering the action took place, in a manner of speaking, under the Pope’s own windows. The Vatican’s response at that time? An official thanks Hitler’s Foreign Minister for the German military’s respectful wartime behavior to the city-state,8 possibly a reference to a promise made by Ernst von Weizsacker, Germany’s ambassador, that Germany would protect the Vatican from damage.

Unbelievably, in 1942, Pius was pre-occupied with the filming of a movie he was having made about himself, Pastor Anglicus.

World War II Vatican Money Facts

Following is a list of some of the ways the Vatican enriched itself during World War II.

Reichskonkordat - From 1933, the Third Reich had signed a pact, the Reichskondordat, with the Holy See agreeing to collect the 8 – 10% church tax through automatic payroll deductions of German Catholic workers,9 a substantial provision to the Vatican’s budget. The Reichskonkordat validated the Nazi’s rise to power and reigned in Catholic priests from voicing dissent against Hitler’s regime and effectively tied the church to Nazi Germany.

Vatican Bank - The Vatican realized economic benefits from exercising complacency toward Nazism’s anti-Semitic policies. In fact, the Vatican experienced such an economic boon during the war that it needed to create an efficient way of dealing with the inflow of profits. On June 27, 1942, the Vatican Bank, also known as Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR; Institute for Works of Religion) was formed. Because its only branch was inside the Vatican, it was “free of any wartime regulations.”10 It was free of independent audits. It had a policy of destroying all files after ten years.

Throughout the war, Vatican Bank executed “back-and-forth transfers of Swiss francs, lira, dollars, sterling, and even gold bullion, through a slew of holding companies in a dozen countries on several continents.”11 In the midst of the unparalleled upheavals of WWII, opportunistic business titans, recognizing in the war an unequalled money-making opportunity also saw that the Vatican Bank was the world’s best offshore bank.12

Theft of Victims’ Insurance Policies - In addition, as an investor in Italian insurance companies, the Vatican benefited from the wartime practice of escheating, or transferring Jewish life insurance policies. Investigators estimate that during the war more than $200 billion in illegally retained premiums and unpaid benefits was stolen from Europe’s Jews. 13

Theft of Victims’ Gold and Jewellery - The Vatican played an important role in moving gold from German-occupied countries during the war. For example, post-war investigators concluded that Krunoslav Draganovic, a Croatian Roman Catholic priest, deposited Croatian victims’ gold and jewelry in the Vatican Bank which accepted it as “a contribution from a religious organization.”14 The loot disappeared without a trace through the Vatican Bank’s money laundering process.

At the end of the war, victims’ loot undoubtedly funded the Vatican’s efforts to transport fleeing Nazi fugitives to safe havens.

Why did the Vatican refuse to act on behalf of those being slaughtered? Might the reason have had something to do with money?

Last Pope - Malachy Prophecy

Henotheism and the Papacy

Henotheism and the Papacy

Most Roman citizens and emperors believed in many gods but focused on one particular god or considered one god higher than the others. This is Henotheism. When the Catholic Church absorbed Roman paganism, it replaced all their god’s with the saints. The Romans had a god of love, war, peace, strength, wisdom and many other gods. The Catholic Church has a saint in charge over each of these , as well as, many other catagories. Each city had it’s own god so the Catholic Church provided a saint for each city.

                                                                                                                             The papacy was created with the support of the Roman emperors. The city of Rome was the center of government for the whole Empire, and with the Roman emperors living there as well, the city rose to prominence. Constantine and his succesor's gave their support to the bishop of Rome as the supreme ruler of the church.  It was best for the Roman empire that the government and state religion be centralized. Most other bishops and Christians alike resisted the idea of the Roman bishop as being supreme. Due to the power and influence of Roman emperors, the Roman bishop eventually reigned supreme. When the empire collapsed in 476, the pope’s took the title Pontifex Maximus, a title that had previously belonged to the Roman emperors.

                                                                                                                          The origin of the Catholic church is nothing more than a compromise  of Christianity and pagan religions. Instead of converting pagans they “Christianized” the pagan religions, and paganized Christianity. The cult of Isis and Mithraism are two more of many pagan religions. I will talk about these two later.

Pope Francis’ Jihad on Christianity

Pope Francis’ Jihad on Christianity

Pope calls for worldwide abolition of death penalty

People must recognize that God has given government the authority to determine when capital punishment is due (Genesis 9:6; Romans 13:1-7). It is unbiblical to claim that God opposes the death penalty in all instances. Christians should never rejoice when the death penalty is employed, but at the same time, Christians should not fight against the government’s right to execute the perpetrators of the most evil of crimes. In my humble opinion this man has a reason for saying this. Whatever reason it is it can't be good.

Pope calls for worldwide abolition of death penalty

This is not a case of the pope not expressing himself well. His statement about the cross is produced by his incorrect doctrinal beliefs.

How can the crucifixion be a failure when Jesus went to the cross willingly?

(John 10:17-18)
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father."

Pope Says Cross is a Failure…Again

Back in September, Pulpit & Pen posted a transcript of the Pope’s words, calling the cross a failure…humanly speaking. Many took exception with this, as the cross – humanly sp…

According to the pope, you don't even have to believe in God to go to heaven. Atheists can go just by being good. What the pope is either ignorant of or lying about is that *nobody* goes to heaven by being good, not even those who do believe in God. If the pope himself is counting on getting to heaven by being good, he's headed for the lake of fire, eternally. .

(Romans 3:23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

(John 3:16-18)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
