We pray the same God</description>

		<description>how is the building of christian or catholic worship places or churches in the Muslim countries? So they don&#039;t really believe in religious freedom but has maybe other alteriat motives. As long as they don&#039;t change things at home they cannot impose. Or for each building abroad one christian must be build in their country. Does it sound crazy? they need to integrate and not impose.</description>

		<description>Can you explain why the overwhelming majority of Nazi war criminals had Catholic backgrounds and why the great majority of camp guards came from Catholic areas?

Have you read A Moral Reckoning by Dan Goldhagen? Until I did I was unaware that so much of the Greek Testement was violently anti semitic. It is almost that without 1,800 years of lies told about Jews by the Catholic Church, the Holocaust could not have happened.</description>

		<description>Please, please, please, arrange for an open forum where the defenders can publically face the accusers and let everyone bring their documented and eye witness proof. Let the everyday person decide. The trial by a jury of one’s peers has worked in all civilized countries why not use it to open this debate up for worldwide review. I will come in a moment’s notice. Will the accusers? Remember they must bring their evidence.</description>

		<title>Comment on POPE PIUS XII  THE CASE by Gabriel Wilensky</title>

		<description>Well, if everyone could agree on one point is that there are different opinions about what Pope Pius XII did or did not do during the war. However, the important point is that his public record is known and not open to dispute, and shows him to have been silent. Many defenders of the pope want to believe he did great things, but historical analysis is not based on wishful thinking. I also wish he had done much more than what I think he did. The issue is that if the pope did indeed do a lot of “behind the scenes” work to save the Jews, and I am not saying he didn’t (although I suspect he did not), then it makes sense for the Church to make that information public.

Perhaps the Church feels that the combination of time and new “facts on the ground” set by the canonization of the pope will whitewash his role and that of the Church during WWII. After all, it has worked in the past many times when the Church canonized many people whose record was atrocious, yet today we call them Saint This or Saint That and that makes them automatically good people. Pope Pius XII may have been a profoundly wonderful human being whose religious work may indeed warrant raising him to the sainthood. However, a pope is more than a religious figure. A pope is a head of state, and the head of a giant church, and Pope Pius had the misfortune to reign over it during the darkest period in history. Maybe he did indeed work tirelessly in defense of the Jews as his apologetics claim, and maybe his “heroic virtues” would warrant calling him a saint. However, his public record is well known and the available evidence seems to point in the opposite direction. As far as is publicly known, Pope Pius failed to speak loud and clear on behalf of the Jews, failed to prevent the German Catholic Church from providing the Nazis with baptismal records that allowed them to identify Jews, failed to instruct Catholics to stop murdering Jews, failed to officially instruct the clergy everywhere to give shelter to Jews, and failed to excommunicate any Catholics including Hitler, Goebbels, and many others in the Nazi hierarchy, let alone the actual Catholic perpetrators whose souls were cleansed by field priests as the soldiers, policemen or SS came back to the barracks with blood stains in their uniforms from the hundreds of Jews they murdered at point blank range that day.

The Vatican Secret Archives for the WWII period need to be opened. This is ultimately also for the Church&#039;s benefit, even if it does show, as I think it will, that the Church as such did very little to help the hounded Jews. After all, it was the Church itself that published eleven volumes of documents forty years ago precisely to counter allegations that Pope Pius XII did not do as much as he should have. It’s safe to assume the Church would have shown its best, most compelling documentation showing Pope Pius helping Jews if it had it, and it would have been totally counterproductive to have left clear evidence of this help out of those eleven volumes. I think one can logically assume the documentation simply does not exist.

		<description>some of this needs to be challenged on the personal level-what damage that may last a lifetime finding Jewish children, or adults, (or Indians, Africans, eytc.) to tell them they are Wrong and unless they believe in the Blood of Christ, and to hate their people, hateir culture hate themselves that they will burn in hell forever, unless they profess the Catholic faith.  And its all very German-in the negative sense.  There are also some very positive things about Germans and their culture.  Can&#039;t Jews in Berlin do something on this issue?</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve never read anything about Islam beliefs. It is so gratifying to know because with what&#039;s going on in the world today. How can we as Family of God be instructed that we are all connected to one anotther. We need to inform one another.</description>
