During the Nazi occupation of Rome in 1943 there were around 12,000 jews living in Rome. Hitler wanted to include them in his final solution and in just a few days, 1,000 were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. It was an incredibly tense and dangerous time for the Jewish community, and the other prisoners in the city. In the heart of Rome, at the Vatican was an Irish priest, Mons. Hugh O'Flaherty. He was living within the neutral territory of Vatican City and so was safe from the Gestapo. He organized a secret plan to hide thousands of Jews in different homes, religious houses around Rome, and inside the Vatican itself. This year marks the 60th anniversary of his death. EWTN's Colm Flynn has the incredible story.

Fr. O'Flaherty is one of the reasons I joined the Catholic church as a convert. I have been so happy in our wonderful Church. My husband and daughter converted as well. Fr. O'Flaherty's story is so wonderful! It sure was nice to see all of his relatives in the story of his life.

I recall another priest who saved some 860,000 Jewish lives. His name was Eugenio Pacelli.

@therealong 7 месяцев назад

@bengoolie5197 Of course, he was pope Pius XII himself, during Mons. O'Flaherty ministry. Watch the mentioned movie, it's a well done dramatization. (PS: Even non Catholics admired it in the comments.)

@andrewdownie3251 2 месяца назад

Eugenio Pacelli was pope pius 12th. According to Vatican documents released in 2020/2021 he and his predessor pope pius 11th were Nazi sympathisers until 1943, when they realised that the Allies would win the war. If you wish to praise a Pope who rescued people from the Nazis then praise Angelo Roncalli ie Pope John 23rd.

@andrewdownie3251 День назад

If you read the latest Vatican documents Pacelli supported the Nazis till 1943 when it was clear that the Allies would win WW2. And who was his closest advisor? Bishop Montini, later Pope Paul 6th. If you want to honour Catholics, like I do, who saved Jews and others from the Nazi Gas Chambers, honour men like O'Flaherty, Maximillian Kolbe, and Angelo Roncalli, the future Pope John 23rd.

Pope Pius XII thought Hitler was possessed by the devil. Every day he tried to do a long distance exorcism.

@AndyYoung789 7 месяцев назад

Hitler probably was. But then Gabriel Amorth, chief Vatican exorcist, said Stalin was also possessed. But Christ told the Pharisees that Satan's kingdom could not be divided against itself. However, Hitler attacked Stalin.

An inspiring story of understated courage and unwavering faith shown by Fr Hugh O' Flaherty, and the many others, who risked the constant threat of torture and death, all through the German occupation of Italy during WW2. Any criticism of the Catholic Church's reluctance to condemn the Natzi Tyrany should stop and consider the consequences to the many Jews who owed their lives to The Vatican during that terrible time. If Pope Pius X11 had spoken out openly against the Natzi regime, then that would have immediately put the Vatican under greater suspicion and would have made any rescue and shelter of Jewish men women and children almost impossible. The fact that Fr O'Flaherty could forgive and befriend the Natzi officer, who would have had him put to death in the blink of an eye, is astonishing. But that is the very quality that made him a good priest.

MSM? MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a chemical in animals, humans, and many plants. People use it most often to try to treat arthritis. MSM can be produced in a lab, where it is sometimes combined with other supplements such as glucosamine or chondroitin.

There is a lot to solving and issue. And this is one of them. Be grateful for someone like Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty because it is about saving those who are innocent. They had to Learn that there are good people out there. The Jews needed to know Jesus Christ in the form of Fr.I O’Flaherty. It was a good thing that he did. The Jews did not know Jesus back when He was alive. So this gave the Jews some time to repent and be sorry for their sins and be forgiven. 🙏❤️🌈🎶🌎☮️

It’s called “History.” Didn’t you ever try it in school? It’s certainly a relief from the media preference of sexual scandals, or the lie that Pope Pius XII remained “silent” during the Holocaust.
