I thought Antonio and others might enjoy reading this one. I found it interesting, especially in light of how Pope Pius XII seems to have been made into a lightening rod of controversy by folks with an agenda.

Yad Vashem Honor Sought for Pius XII
Foundation Announces Plan to Initiate Process
NEW YORK, JULY 2, 2009 (Zenit.org).- A foundation announced plans to nominate Pope Pius XII for the "Righteous Among the Nations" honor, traditionally given to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.
Gary Krupp, president of the New York-based Pave the Way Foundation, an organization that promotes interreligious dialogue, affirmed this Wednesday in a statement to ZENIT.
He reported that the foundation has the nomination guidelines from the Righteous Among the Nations Department of the Holocaust Museum Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, and will open the case soon.
Krupp stated that the foundation has "devoted years to gathering original documentation and video testimony on this controversial papacy and we believe we have uncovered enough pertinent material to now begin to seek the notarized written testimonies to officially begin this judicial procedure [with] Yad Vashem."

Hi Denise,
"I thought Antonio and others might enjoy reading this one. I found it interesting, especially in light of how Pope Pius XII seems to have been made into a lightening rod of controversy by folks with an agenda."
Well, I was in Costa Rica when this took place so I was not aware of it, but it's about time Yad Vashem honors a man who did more than anyone else to save persecuted Jews during WWII. Sooner or later the Black Legend about Pius will died out.
