You have been very unjust with Pius XII. It's better to study more about the Hokocaust - matter. Don't you know what he haa done for the jews? Don't you know what happened to the jewish Christians in the Netherlands after the letter of the bishops? So, please, correct those words about Pius XII.!
Pius XII was placed in an impossible situation. If he spoke against Hitler he guaranteed a bloodbath of the Roman Catholics that would guarantee NO safety to the Jews either. He shuffled tens of thousands of Jews thru the Vatican, rubber-stamping fake visas and shipping them out in droves past Mussolini's nose. His amanuensis, probably the most politically powerful nun in the history of the church, worked hand in glove with him to save as many Jews as possible without the government of Fascist Italy being the wiser. Why this amazing story isn't told is beyond me.
*Everyone can see Roman religion is a man made religion. Only RCs could not. 95% of RC doctrines and 95% of RC clergies did not come from God's Word. Why would a true religion have such statistics? Lucy has b - ded the eyes of RCs; so they could not C.* 1. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet Bible says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But Bible says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to God only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet Bible says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. Bible says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same God. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.
All religion is man made, chief. Christianity is based entirely around a person to which there are two references in the historical record outside the Bible who almost certainly did not come back to life after he died. You can use the Bible to justify anything, too. And Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all do have the same God. All three descend from Abraham. They believe different things about God, but Jesus is a major prophet within Islam. The difference is that Christians believe he was the messiah, while Muslims and Jews do not. Please go learn some actual religious history and theology before showing your ignorance online like this.

Nothing controversial about Venerable Pius XII. He had to do what he could covertly. If he spoke out loud against the nazis, they would have occupied the Vatican.
John 12?! Dude by my reckoning this pipe was not very good. If I'm not mistaken he led a very dissolute life. I'm a RC, btw. There have been some awful popes. Why? Because nothing in the hand of man escapes corruption. Factions demanding power are sometimes victorious....and yet the will of God is accomplished sometimes in SPITE of mans best efforts to the contrary.

St Peter was not a pope, he was apostle and Orthodox Christian St Leo was a pope and Orthodox Christian - there was no roman Catholicism back then St Gregory the Great was a pope and Orthodox Christian - known as one of the great defenders of orthodoxy Boniface VIII was a pope and roman catholic and so on ....
The assertion that figures like St. Peter, St. Leo the Great, and St. Gregory the Great were not associated with the papacy or Catholicism but rather were simply Orthodox Christians requires a nuanced understanding of early Christian history. While it is true that terms like "Catholicism" and "Orthodoxy" did not exist in their contemporary context, historical evidence firmly places these figures within the Western Church and identifies them as early leaders of what would later become known as the Catholic Church. St. Peter: While serving as a leader among the apostles, Peter's association with Rome is evident in both historical accounts and biblical references. For instance, in his First Epistle, Peter writes from "Babylon," which is widely interpreted as a symbolic reference to Rome. Additionally, early Christian writers such as Irenaeus (c. 130-202 AD) and Tertullian (c. 155-240 AD) affirm Peter's presence and leadership in Rome. Tertullian famously wrote, "Was anything withheld from the knowledge of Peter, who is called 'the rock on which the church should be built,' who also obtained 'the keys of the kingdom of heaven?'" St. Leo the Great: As pope from 440 to 461 AD, St. Leo the Great asserted the authority of the Roman See and played a key role in defining and defending Catholic doctrine. His "Tome to Flavian" was instrumental in the Council of Chalcedon's affirmation of the two natures of Christ, which unfortunately is rejected by heresies of certain orthodox churches in the East. In his letters and sermons, Leo emphasized the primacy of the Roman See and the authority of the pope. He is also known for his efforts to combat heresy and to ensure the unity of the Church. St. Gregory the Great: Pope from 590 to 604 AD, St. Gregory the Great is known for his pastoral care, missionary work, and contributions to liturgy. He strengthened the authority of the papacy and expanded the influence of the Roman Church. Gregory's writings, including his extensive correspondence and his "Dialogues," reflect his role as pope and his efforts to maintain doctrinal purity and ecclesiastical discipline. He is also credited with organizing the papal administration and establishing the framework for medieval papal power in the West. While it is true that the terms "Catholicism" and "Orthodoxy" did not exist in the early Church, these figures were undeniably part of the Western Christian tradition that would become named Catholicism, the universal apostolic church (an idea shared by early church fathers). Their contributions to the development of papal authority, Catholic doctrine, and ecclesiastical organization are well-documented in historical sources and provide clear evidence of their association with the papacy and the Western Church. Please find God and hope for unification rather than trying to divide history of the early church. We had been one for the first millennial and I pray we come together once again, Alexander.
@@raymondvasquez6967 Meh, they can all have one. Archeologist Margherita Guarducci discovered the remains of a man over 60, without his feet, wrapped in royal purple but buried in a tomb UNDER the Vatican. And the tomb's 1st century graffiti just happened to say Petrus Enni ( here is Peter). We know the truth my brother. But for a great read, read her story!!!
@@raymondvasquez6967 Dr. Guarducci was not without her detractors. At the time male archeologist were not happy that she made this find. But later DNA sequencing did confirm that the man-;between 56 and 75, was middle Eastern. Subsequent claims by other archeologists are not all that convincing.
