PIO XII’S SILENCE

Finally the secret vatican archives are opened on the dawn of Nazism: a great sign of clearness, generous but due, from John Paul II.
I think that the catholic antinazi voices of prophetic tone (symbolic Edith Stein and father Friedrich Muckermann, both marthyrs) were guilty of unilateralism, compared to the political clairvoyance of Pacelli, who, elected as Pope, condemned the nazi ideology, already condemned by Pio XI.
Unwilling to delegate and reactionary, Pacelli stood out both for spiritual, mystic and ascetic profile.
In the huge alternative nazism stalinist communism, he was incline to nazism, against his will.
For and not pro-nazism though. Mainly political prophet.
