Vatican Secret Archives Documents Going Online

Pave the Way Foundation Proposal Approved

  By Jesús Colina

VATICAN CITY, FEB. 12, 2010 (Zenit.org).- The Holy See is planning to publish on the Internet, free of charge, several documents from the Vatican Secret Archives in relation to World War II.

The initiatives is partially in response to a petition from Pave the Way Foundation, an organization dedicated to bridging gaps between religions.

The foundation proposed making digital files of, and later publicizing, some 5125 descriptions and copies of documents from the closed section of the Vatican archives, from the period of March 1939 to May 1945.

Gary Krupp, the foundation’s president and founder, told ZENIT that “the ‘Actes et Documents du Saint Siège relatifs a la Seconde Guerre Mondiale [Acts and Documents of the Holy See relative to the Second World War],’” which were “previously published and mostly ignored,” will “shortly be available for worldwide scrutiny and study online, free of charge.”

He explained that these documents will be available on the Web site of his foundation as well as that of the Vatican.

This project is part of the mission of the foundation, a non-sectarian organization that works to remove obstacles between religions, foster cooperation and to end the misuse of religion for private agendas.

This will be a great asset to all of us who have so many times had to respond to a-C propaganda about Pope Pius XII during WW2.

I am really looking forward to this. This myth of “hitler’s pope” just won’t go away.

It is times like this when I wished my Latin was better [and probably I will wish I knew italian and some other languages as well:blush:] …

However, I am sure they be translated into english fairly quickly

Yeah, I look forward to this as it will fill in a lot of gaps in the information. I have no fear that the truth will reign.
