As my name suggests, I am a strong advocate for Pius XII. What are everyone else’s opinions (I would like a friendly debate, so please back up your opinions with facts).
Venerable Pius XII is one of my favorite Popes as well. I’ve read part of his encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam proclaiming the Queenship of Mary, and it is absolutely beautiful! The Scouting religious emblem for high school age youth is named for him, and rightfully so! He was an excellent shepard of the Church through difficult times.
My daughter got an A+ on a paper she wrote last year in defense of Pius XII in her PUBLIC middle school Honors English class. Perhaps the tide is turning.
