Michael Phayer

Hi everyone. Does anyone know what this quote is in reference to exactly? Or does anyone know the source of the quote
"Phayer argues that Pius XII — both before and during his papacy — consistently ‘deferred to Germany at the expense of Poland’, and saw Germany — not Poland — as critical to ‘rebuilding a large Catholic presence in Central Europe’ ”

I know it comes from Michael Phayer’s book The Catholic Church and the Holocaust. However, I cannot find anything which quotes in context “deferred to Germany at the expense of Poland” and “rebuilding a large Catholic presence in Central Europe” I have searched on google but the only results are the brief quotes.

It’s the typical anti-Pius XII rhetoric, that he was Hitler’s puppet, and it’s pretty much been debunked. Pius repeatedlly condemned Nazism and saved roughly 800,000 Jews from them. Look up the book Pope and Devil, which shows this reality. The idea that Pius supported Hitler originated in a play written in the 60s.

Since nothing that is hidden will not be brought to light, here is some interesting reading on this very subject:

Thank you for the book idea JackVk. I have been debating this issue with two atheists and this is the first time this quote has been used.

I have my doubts that atheists will accept the developing revelation of the Kremlin’s campaign against Pius XII, since fellow atheists initiated it.

still worth trying. It’s the least I can do for the Church after they have given me so much.
