Trashing the true historical record of the one man who personally saved more Jews than any person, group of persons, nation, or group of nations, combined, and then pretending that he didn't do what he did, and then calling it history. That's TV today.

Vic Biorseth, http://www.Thinking-Catholic-Strategic-Center.com

I was enjoying a cup of coffee this morning when an advertisement came up for the upcoming History Channel treatment of Pius XII. The narrator intoned, in a deadly serious voice, about the atrocities committed by the Nazis, and how the Pope stood neutral; and how Jews were being shot right beneath the Vatican windows, and the Pope stood neutral; and on, and on. Any literate person with access to actual history would know at once that, regardless of the History Channel narrator’s words, the Pope never stood neutral. The History Channel wouldn't know what the real history of an event was if it came up and bit them on the butt. Obviously, they only seek to further the anti-Catholic and anti-Christian agenda of Leftist-atheistic show-biz and the SLIMC.

Pius XII is conservatively credited with saving over 850,000 Jews from the Nazi holocaust. Who else saved anywhere near that number? Schindler, of Schindler's List fame? Not even close. Churchill? No. F.D.R.? Don't make me laugh. If you combined the numbers of saved Jews from every individual, group or organization that saved any Jews at all into one number, it would not even be close. That's the real history of it.

He was universally acclaimed as the most singular, stand-alone opponent of Nazism and champion of the Jews, everywhere, until some five years after his death. Then, the open slander and defamation began, with a theatrical piece called The Deputy by a little known playwright named Rolf Hochhuth in Munich. In this hateful, slanderous and anti-Catholic polemic, Pius was portrayed as being just as ruthless and heartless as Hitler himself. And virulent anti-Catholicism has never let go of it since.

While the US and Britain were knowingly and actively blocking immigration of Jews fleeing the holocaust, the Vatican was issuing thousands and thousands of fraudulent documents to allow Jews to pass as Christians and escape to other countries, and hiding them, sheltering them, disguising them, smuggling and otherwise transporting them, and saving them. At the Nurnburg trials, even Nazi war criminals provided testimony regarding his consistent official communications denouncing Nazi anti-Semitism, atrocities and crimes. Historical figures and organizations that hailed the singular and super-heroic efforts of Pius XII include Israel Zolli, chief rabbi of Rome; Golda Meir, prime minister of Israel; Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress; Elio Toaff, Chief Rabbi of Rome, following Rabbi Zolli’s conversion to Catholicism; and even the New York Times, of all things.

The historical trail is ridiculously easy to follow; you don't need to be an historian. Look at the Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust link for a more honest and complete depiction than you will get from show-biz or the SLIMC. Real history shows that Pius XII performed heroically in defense of the Jews; but you will find SLIMC - produced crockumentaries on how he ran a secret "rat-hole" operation to smuggle Nazi war criminals to Argentina.

Yeah, right.

It's all part and parcel to the agenda of the Left to drive down and eventually eliminate the existing American guiding ethos, which is the ancient ethos of Western Civilization itself, which is already greatly reduced in Europe. The Left has always despised Christianity, and has always displayed a streak of anti-Semitism. But note well the nature of the ethos, or, perhaps I should say, the lack of an ethos, that they would replace it with. The Thinking Catholic Strategic Center discusses the nature and the vital importance of this thing called ethos in more detail in the Cultural Morality Page.

But the important thing to note is the nature of the Atheist Ethos, which is this: Atheism has no guiding ethos. To the Atheist, there are no absolutes, and there is no such thing as a definitive set of rules differentiating right from wrong. To the Atheist, whether something is good or bad can be judged, quite subjectively, only after an event has occurred. Which is a little late, and, most of us would say, a little vague, to say the least, and far too subjective.

So, the History Channel would have us believe that they are opposing Nazism in their hit piece on Pius XII, as they provide an anti-Catholic and anti-Christian nudge in their preferable Atheist direction. Which just happens to perfectly coincide with the exact same "ethos" of the likes of Adolph "Christianity is the worst thing that ever happened to humankind" Hitler, and Joseph "how many divisions can the Pope put in the field?" Stalin, and Mao "I killed more people than Genghis Khan" Tse Tung, and so many others. The bloodiest butchers in human history did not come out of the Western Culture ethos, but out of open rejection and repudiation of it.

Beware. Know what you are watching, and what your children are watching, and be prepared to criticize, comment and discuss. Maintain and strengthen the traditions and the norms and the boundaries of Western Culture. You know what your own ethos is, or you should; and you should know what the overall guiding ethos of America is. But when you turn on that tube, most of the time you will be viewing something produced by someone with the guiding ethos of BMDFP and the SLIMC.

So, a quickee advertisement this morning lit my fire, and I just had to say something. I feel better now.

Blessed be God forever, and may God Bless the USA.

Some good books on the subject:

The Pope and the Holocaust; John S. Rader and Kateryna Fedoryka, Family Apostolate.

I have watched several programs on the History Channel that are blatantly anti-Catholic. In a 'History of Christianity' they do not even acknowledge the Catholic church's existence, but rather refer to the first group of Christians as 'the church' (generic). The National Geographic channel clearly represents and promotes the Protestant viewpoint in many of their religious programs (i.e. Jesus had several brothers/sisters). They are closely aligned with The Salvation Army, a group which is openly and notoriously anti-Catholic.

That’s part of the reason I watch so little TV these days. When it isn’t blatant immorality, it’s something that makes me mad, whether a political issue or a religious one.

That being said, we still support and give to the Salvation Army, not because of their teaching or belief, but because of their steadfast support for the least among us and the destitute. Other than the St. Vincent De Paul society, there are very few out there who do what they do. When you think about it, Protestants are supposed to be anti-Catholic to some degree; that’s what makes them Protestant.

As a matter of fact, I must be somewhat of an anti-Protestant, else I could not continue to be so proud of being such a staunch Roman Catholic. We can openly argue and discuss these inter-faith issues in America, because we are Americans. When anyone takes a rhetorical shot at the Church, we should always be prepared to return fire. I’m sure Protestants feel the same way.

When all is said and done, although I know that they are wrong and wish they would see the light, I still feel a strong American kinship with Protestants and Jews, who share our Western Culture ethos and sense of right versus wrong. It is atheism, and even more, Secularism, that I view as out-and-out enemies of the American ethos and the American ideal.

Regards,

Vic
