50 Reasons to Boycott the Catholic Church

59. Pacelli

Was also in Berlin up until the US was manoevred into WWI, and his record during and after WWII needs no disparaging from myself. After all McCabe considered the Soviet Union a worthwhile exercise in government and had no criticisms of communism or Stalin, so faint praise of Pacelli considering post war developments I would consider thin ice. Are you really using such a smidgin of faint praise to claim some form of moral or intellectual superiority for the church. I'm either missing the point or you are merely being obtuse in order to feed some superiority complex. Explain please why you chose to quote this particular part of McCabe when Pius is now viewed with abject horror? The sub heading is totally divorced from the following cut and paste. Although to be fair as previously stated it does ply the figure of Pacelli with faint praise, is that all it takes for you.

Pacelli is also the man that helped dismantle the Catholic political centre to assist the Nazis in return for a Concordat that was not revoked after the War.

The Catholic church also preached from the pulpits in the Saar for it to be reintegrated into Germany, Hitlers first real foreign policy success and fuel for his expansionist ambitions.

Some consider Maria Monk a fraud (no quotes, sorry). Not looked into enough personally but at the moment I am inclined to agree.
