Hitler's Pope The Secret History Of Pius Xii
Author: John Cornwell
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Few recent books have unleashed such passions as John Cornwell's story of Pius XII, Pope during WW II.

Much of this has already been debunked in other books. In fact, Gary Krupp ( a Jew) was so angry about this misinformation that he wrote a book proving it wrong.


Pope Pius XII and World War II- The Documented Truth

Mr. Krupp has a website devoted to improving relations between faiths through removing non-theological obstacles. http://www.ptwf.org/default.aspx

John Cornwell has a very strong anti-Catholic agenda going on that doesn't want anything to do with truth and is hell-bent on destroying people. Don't waste your time on this book.

I seriously suggest looking up on Wikopedia "Hitler's Pope" and also "the myth of Hitler's pope" before you read this. The author has retracted many things in this book afterwards and seems to have a personal vendetta against the Catholic Church as he is a liberal and wants major change - but he didn't get what he wanted when he was a seminarian. Don't believe everything you read people. Just because it was published doesn't mean it is true. Do your homework on this one.

Hitler is waging war in Germany and in Europe and the future Pope Pius XII is making treaties with Hitler in which he allows Hitler to kill the Jews because Pope Pius XII also hated the Jews. This Pope's agreements with Hitler also allowed Hitler to kill many Catholics also. This is a recent book by the Roman Catholic Scholar John Cornwall. The author was permitted special permission from the Vatican to research this book. This book follows Pope Pius' path all over the globe. This was a very interesting book and I highly recommend it.
