Chapter 4: Vicars of Christ - Popes of Evil - The Nazi Pope.

Pius XII (1876-1958) commenced his tenure as Holy Pontiff in 1939 ending with his death at the age of 82. Eugenio Pacelli entered the Vatican and trained not as a theologian but a Canon lawyer. He received his ordination as a priest in 1899. A born leader and conservative authoritarian, he believed and later lobbied for the sovereignty of the pope, absolute papal spiritual authority over the religious lives of all Catholics, but also Church activities in every nation-state around the globe. Pacelli’s plan involved total by-pass of local institutions, forwarding administration processes solely to the nation-states, directing all Church business to the Vatican for summary and approval. He believed centralized governance equals a more powerful Vatican and Church. 

Before attaining Holy Office, Pacelli acted as Pro-Secretary of the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical. Quietly ambitious with an eye on the Papacy, he was the primary architect of The Code of Cannon Law. This document once promulgated would give the Pope absolute power over every aspect of Church life. This extended into complete jurisdiction throughout the Church, including all areas of faith, morals, and all Church political edicts across the world. Pacelli was not satisfied with just Pope Infallibility but also wanted absolute political infallibility across Christendom.

In 1917 Pacelli was elevated to archbishop, and appointed as Papal nuncio (ambassador) to Prussia or Germany. Some years later he held the post of nuncio to Germany for 12 years. It was during this tumultuous period (Post WWI), he worked closely with the Nazi party, organizing a Concord (treaty), gaining full authority over Catholic dioceses’ across Germany. In negotiations with the leader of the National Socialist Party, Adolf Hitler, in exchange for support, Pacelli agreed to close the Centre Party, the political arm for the German Catholics. Once closed, fascism predominated, and soon later, after the initial shock that their Party was dissolved; the Catholic population joined the Nazi Party.  On July 20, 1933, the German Concord was signed in Rome, by Pacelli on behalf of Pope Pius XI, and by Franz von Papen, Vice Chancellor of the Reich, for Adolf Hitler. Again, the Concord gave undue privilege to the Vatican over all German Catholic churches, clergy and schools throughout the Fatherland. In effect, the treaty ensured Hitler that the Vatican would have no political influence at all; through the withdrawal from all Catholic associations, newspapers…in fact, all social and political influence. This cleared the way for the Nazis to dominate politically over Germany, leading to WW11 and the Holocaust. 

On July 14, 1933, it is recorded that Hitler boasted at a cabinet meeting:

“…the Concord gave Germany the opportunity and created an area of trust that was particularly significant in developing struggle against international Jewry.”

Given that many powerful groups in the Vatican have campaigned to beatify Pius XII, there continues to surface information concerning the Pontiff’s actions and, more importantly, inactions during his reign. Particularly his relationship with the Nazi party, and the Pope’s contradictory behaviour, before, during and after WWII…In fact, certain documents have surfaced, revealing Pius XII anti-Semitism. For example the following letter written from Munich early in his tenure as nuncio in Germany:

“An array of employees were dashing to and fro, giving out orders, waving bits of paper, and in the midst of all this, a gang of young women, of dubious appearance, Jews like all the rest of them, hanging around in all the offices with provocative demeanour and suggestive smiles. The boss of this female gang was Levin’s mistress, a young Russian woman, a Jew and a divorcee, who was in charge. Levine is a young man about 30 or 35, also Russian and a Jew: pale, dirty, with vacant eyes, hoarse voice, vulgar, repulsive, with a face that is both intelligent and sly.”

One should keep in mind that the author of this paragraph is, at the time, an archbishop, a high ranking and important member of the Vatican. He will also rise, in fast-track speed, to Holy Pontiff, single-handedly running all aspects of his small but powerful and wealthy country. One can really interpret this little pearl, without risking too much, as racist statements bordering on a seasoned hate. Taking this along, the reader could well replace the word “Jew” with any other race or religion, and come to the same conclusion. These statements reek of cliché and are certainly disturbing when one considers the authors education and position.

Only a short time after this letter was written, Pius raises his racist head once again. An all-black French soldier contingent had been alleged to be raping women and abusing little German children. Pius was on the phone to the authorities demanding these coloured sex offenders be banished from the Fatherland. As the Cardinal was already aware, the U.S. Congress ordered an investigation into the affair and found it to be false. A transparent example of narcissism and monomania, as this man, brimming with self-importance, believed he could simply order the black soldiers out of the country despite their innocence. Later, this pathological narcissism only develops, manifesting as acute psychosis on a grand scale.

Pius X11 is following a deeply ingrained tradition of anti-Semitism, emulating the early Church Fathers and hundreds of Popes before him. (See chapter xx) His apparent racism for minorities takes a long and sad second place to his pathological anti-Semitism.  

It should be known the Vatican’s ultra-awareness of the Bolshevik threat to Catholicism after WW1. This threat was always at the forefront of Pacelli’s mind well before his relationship with Hitler and the National Socialist Party. One school of thought argues that, Pacelli’s collaboration with the fascist regime was a long range tactic to use them as a bulwark against the threat. The Nazi and Vatican’s similar hate for Jews was merely an added bonus for the Church. Add again the Pontiff’s will to power, Germany being the first country which The Code of Cannon Law doctrine was applied and enforced, is a perfect win/win for all. Combining all these factors, one can at least comprehend (pathology) the Pope’s “deafening silence” about Nazi atrocities, including the Holocaust. To be sure, Pius’s sole concern was Papal sovereignty and Vatican dominance. Unfortunately, the natural concern for one’s fellow human beings, a main teaching of Jesus Christ, turned out to be an annoying side issue for the Pope, at best.   

Germany annexed Austria in 1938. A year later Nazi troops began to amass along the Czechoslovakian border, occupation was eminent. Then, of course, sparking all-out war: the lightning attack and subsequent occupation of Poland. In the following letter, we can almost hear Pius’ excitement over Vatican/Nazi relations:

“To the illustrious Herr. Adolf Hitler, Fu her, and Chancellor of the German Reich!

 Here at the beginning of our Pontificate We desire to express the wish to remain united by the bonds of profound and benevolent friendship with the German people who are entrusted to your care…We pray that Our great desire for the prosperity for the German people and that their progress in every domain may, with God’s help, come to full realization.”

The defenders of Pius XII refuse to confront his close relationship with the Nazi Party. Pius’s 12 year tenure in Munich as ambassador for the Vatican ensured him first-hand knowledge of the National Socialist rise to power, and deep hatred for the Jews. His single-minded pursuit of absolute sovereignty of the Pope, including his racism and anti-Semitic position, is following a long line of Pontiff’s: an early Church Father tradition of Jewish persecution as far back as the First century CE - his collusion with Adolf Hitler, which paved the way for the Final Solution, is more than evident. Pius knew of Hitler’s intentions to put to work his well-financed military and the dictators’ diabolical plans for not only German Jews, but the Jewish people world-wide. The man’s silence about the treacherous actions against the Jews, starting early in Germany, to become international news with the annexation of Austria, Pius’s true loyalties are clear.

The Nazi plan for complete genocide of Jews across the planet was made known to the international community in the summer of 1942. American, British and other representatives in the Vatican

“We must vow to bring society back to its immovable centre of gravity in Divine law…Humanity owes this vow to those hundreds of thousands who, without any fault of their own, sometimes only by reason of their nationality and race, are marked for death or gradual extinction.”

Is the Pope speaking about Darwin’s theory of “natural selection?” Does he believe the systematic extermination of the Jews is the result of the forces of nature? Similar to the Dinosaurs, are there nationalities and races “marked” for gradual extinction? The current Pope, under the same circumstances in the 21^st century would have never gotten away with this pompous statement of nonsense. The words have the similar tone, piousness and pseudo-intellectual rigmarole as St. Aquinas’ statement about women – women are “misbegotten” – a freak of creation – and should have never been born. There is no mention of the Nazi’s and their intent, including his more than obvious “roaring silence” on the on-going genocide (over one million executions at this stage) of the Jewish people. Pius’ future addresses to the faithful are just more deflective-babble, not worth recording here.

During the remainder of Pius’ time as sovereign Pope, he continued his silence until the end of the war. The final grand act of denial, a transgression so telling of his insipid spirit, was his silence thus his condoning the SS arrival into Rome, rounding up over one thousand resident Jews, some families heritage going back before Christianity, and taking them to various concentration camps. While this crime was taking place, he was within Vatican walls, ordering that his office aids must kneel with their heads bowed, when handing him the telephone to answer a call! It is known that the vast majority of these Roman Jews met horrible deaths. 

After the war and continuing to his death, Pius sidestepped his critics by taking the moral high ground, his hypocrisy in full view, many observing his God Complex, and firmly holding his position as sole ruler over Catholic Christians across the planet. The Vatican public relations department worked diligently recording Pius’ half-hearted attempts to help the victims of Nazism. Deservedly, entering into old age, he suffered chronic hiccups, experienced memory loss - a chronic hypochondriac, he received weekly monkey-brain-cell injections to live longer. This Popes’ sovereignty began to fall apart around him - failing to delegate, attempting to hold all the power, refusing to pass along his well-earned, blood- stained sovereignty over Christendom.

Pope Pius XII died on October 9, 1958 at the age of 82. Exactly like Pope Alexander IV, following Vatican tradition, lying in state for the people of Rome to pay their respects, his body decomposed at an alarming rate. A Vatican guard fainted from the stench – by the end of the day, his nose turned black and fell off – like Alexander, the body corrupted unnaturally, and this phenomenon is the opposite to certain saints, whose bodies never decompose, known as the incorruptible (see Pablo Pio) this accelerated decomposition was a symbol to many of his absolute evil and treacherous corruption during his papal reign. 

When researching Pius XII, we came across several photographs of the man. One photograph in particular took us aback, experiencing a visceral reaction, seeing Pius in full Papal garb, a long red cloak, elegantly swirling behind him, while walking amongst a sea of Nazi uniforms. The prince of darkness caught on camera, inspecting his minions before they are unleashed to inflict untold pain and suffering to all and sunder. Pius not only acted the part of the Adversary, (enabling millions of executions) but eerily looked the part… a true head of the Church of Evil…as it has been from the start.
