The papacy of Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) has been a source of near-constant criticism and dispute since his death half a century ago. Central to the dispute is the alleged 'silence' of the Pope during the years of the Holocaust. By examining his pre-papal life - born under the name of Eugenio Pacelli - much can be found to understand the policies, actions, and statements of Pius XII during the war. When examining the Holocaust, it is imperative to place it within the contexts of Christian Judeophobia, modernity, and the many intersections between the two. Powerful myths have been created about this man. Pius XII was not an antisemitic villain nor a 'lamb without stain.' The opening of the Vatican German archives up to 1939 helped add detail and nuance to the author's research. His methodology depended upon contextual interpretation of documents and material from many sources over Pius XII's entire professional religious life up to 1943. This led the author to the conclusion that Pius XII did, in fact, act in a consistent manner towards the persecuted Jews of Europe, and had done so since the advent of National Socialism in the 1920s. Pius XII's behavior during the war confirms his essential consistency, but also reveals the tragic flaw that relegated the Jews to be 'lesser victims.' His failure points to the moral crisis within many parts of the fractured Christian Commonwealth, as well as the personal culpability of Eugenio Pacelli, the man and the Pope.… (més)
