Pius XII Programming

[HagiaSophia]

From Amy Wellborn’s blog today:

Rabbi and historian David Dalin is scheduled to be on MSNBC television this afternoon (Tuesday), between 3-4 PM; and also on Raymond Arroyo’s “World Over Live” Program, on EWTN, this Friday, at 8M EST, to speak about his new book, The Myth of Hitler’s Pope (just out from Regnery–a major publisher, which has published numerous bestsellers) and now available on amazon.com.

Dalin co-edited The Pius War (now a selection of two major outlets–the Conservative Book Club; and Roman Catholic Books); and his new book is completely independent of The Pius War-- though both complement one other.

The Myth of Hitler’s Pope brings to light new evidence in favor of Pius–and papal support for Jews throughout the ages-- in a very original way. He really dismantles the opponents of PP, and reduces their arguments to a pile of dust. He analyzes the culture wars–which he believes are driving this manufactured “debate”–and compares Catholic-Jewish relations to the much more volatile state of Jewish-Islamic relations, which is at the heart of current geopolitical debates.

:clapping: Pope Pius XII is one of Heaven’s Great Ones! His devotion to our Blessed Mother and his teachings reached this Catholic kid.
I am going to make a promise to myself to read well done books on his life and hope to satisfy my inquiring mind about his role in WWII.
If anyone can recommend titles I would appreciate it.:tiphat:

Anything by Marchione - well documented. Yours Is a Precious Witness is particularly moving but all of her stuff is quite good.

Rabbi David Dalin reveals:

• How the myth of “Hitler’s Pope” began – as Communist propaganda
• How liberal or apostate Catholics who are actively promoting the myth are exploiting a Jewish tragedy to undermine Church credibility on abortion and other issues

,li>The little-known fact of “Hitler’s Mufti”: How the Muslim Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who spent the war years as Hitler’s guest in Berlin, advised and assisted the Nazis in carrying out Hitler’s Final Solution

• The true history of Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust: how the Catholic Church did more than any other religious or secular institution to save Jewish lives
• Why the Nazis considered Pope Pius XII their mortal enemy - and at one point actually plotted to kidnap him
• Why Jewish survivors of the Holocaust – and the founders of postwar Israel – praised the pope for his help
• How the myth of “Hitler’s Pope” has become a major factor in America’s culture wars, even coloring reactions to Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of the Christ

“A courageous, impassioned, and desperately needed book that restores essential balance to the ongoing discussion of one of the most reviled figures in recent religious history.” – MICHAEL MEDVED, nationally syndicated radio talk-show host and bestselling author

I saw the world over interview. It sounds like a pretty good book to get.

I haven’t read it but I have heard from some very good “readers” that the Rychlak book is the best yet. Ofr course that predates this new one.

Is she the little old nun on EWTN that did the series that defended HH Pope Pius XII, eternal rest upon his soul? If so, she was a spitfire! I should think Satan would hate to run into her in a dark alley.

She has been a leading light in Pius XII research and documentation and along with Fr. Gumpel has just about devoted her life to it. She reminds me of the many great stories I used to hear about St. Frances Cabrini - feisty.
