On todays Show Sarah leads us in a discussion on Pope Pius XII's actions during World War II. Pius XII, born Eugenio Pacelli, was known for his diplomatic skills and extensive education. He faced criticism for his silence during the Holocaust, but the conversation highlighted his efforts to protect Jews and Catholics through subtle actions and negotiations. The Vatican provided shelter and aid, and Pius XII condemned both the Allies and Axis powers to maintain neutrality. The conversation also noted the Catholic Church's historical context, including the loss of the Papal States and the need for centralized control. The debate emphasized the balance between political and spiritual roles of the Pope. The discussion centered on the historical relationship between Hitler and the Catholic Church, particularly Pope Pius XII. Glenn Cox and others debated whether Hitler feared the Catholic Church's influence and whether Pius XII's actions were a hit job. They also discussed the Catholic Church's global responsibilities, its internal politics, and the Assumption of Mary as a dogma. The conversation touched on modernism's influence, the German Church's issues, and the significance of the peace treaty post-World War I. Glenn promoted a local coffee shop and encouraged listeners to speculate on the next Pope, inviting them to email their thoughts. Don't miss it!
