POPE + VATICAN & HITLER + NAZIs

Cesare Vincenzo Orsenigo — Papal Nuncio to Germany from 1930 to 1945 — meets with Hitler. 

Orsenigo was the direct diplomatic link between Pope Pius XI, Pope Pius XIl, and the Reich.

The immediate post-war record of the Vatican was problematic. 

It refused to assist in the return of Jewish children and helped fleeing Nazi criminals. 

Since 1958 and the election of Pope John XXIII, radical steps have been taken to change Catholic teachings toward Jews.

Pope John XXIII opening the 2nd Vatican Council where the Church officially ended the practice of blaming Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus.

Catholic Church officials in Rome and elsewhere operated "Rat Lines"-escape routes for Nazis. 

Adolf Eichmann and the commandants of Treblinka and Sobibor eluded capture this way. 

Since 1958, no church has been more active in changing its teachings regarding Jews and antisemitism than the Catholic Church. 

Doctrine related to the role of Jews in the death of Jesus has changed. 

Pope John Paul Il established diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the State of Israel. 

The past decades have been the most cooperative in two millennia of Jewish-Christian relations. 

Portrait of Bishop Alois Hudal, who dedicated himself to finding escape routes for Nazis, including Franz Stangl and Adolf Eichmann. 

Hudal said of his efforts: 

“I thank God that He [allowed me to visit and comfort many victims [of the Allied economic war] in their prisons and their concentration camps and to help them escape with false identity papers."

Pope Pius XII was a Vatican diplomat in Germany before he became the Vatican's Secretary of State. 

He was elected Pope in 1939. 

He was deeply knowledgeable of German politics and the dangers of Hitler. 

The future Pope was directly involved in the Concordat between the Vatican and Hitler signed in 1933. 

Priests were present in the communities from which Jews were deported. 

The Vatican had a diplomatic presence everywhere that could report information back to the Holy See. 

The Pope made only two public references to Jews during the War. 

Neither was direct regarding the fate of the Jews. 

When Jews were being deported from Rome in 1943, the Vatican did not publicly condemn the deportation. 

The Jews of Rome disappeared "under his windows." Individual cardinals, bishops, priests, and nuns behaved courageously and rescued Jews.

They did so without papal sanction.

The signing of the Reichskonkordat on July 20, 1933. 

Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (future Pope Pius XIl) is seated in the center.

Are You In A Prison?--Part 2

We all want to escape from our problems and difficulties, but did you know God has a plan. Find out in our latest post.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

PROTESTS637 by a Psychiatrist's view Via Flickr: The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland. Later in 1941 or early 1942, the highest levels of the German government decided to murder all Jews in Europe. Victims were deported by rail to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, most were killed with poison gas. Other Jews continued to be employed in forced labor camps where many died from starvation, abuse or exhaustion or used as test subjects in deadly medical experiments. Although many Jews tried to escape, surviving in hiding was difficult due to factors such as the lack of money to pay helpers and the risk of denunciation. The property, homes, and jobs belonging to murdered Jews were redistributed to the German occupiers and other non-Jews. Although the majority of Holocaust victims died in 1942, the killing continued at a lower rate until the end of the war in May 1945. Separate Nazi persecutions killed a similar or larger number of non-Jewish civilians and POWs; the term Holocaust is sometimes used to also refer to the persecution of these other groups.

Alan Arkin: The Kominsky Method Actor Dies Aged 89

Veteran US actor Alan Arkin, known for his role as the outrageous grandad in the film "Little Miss Sunshine," has passed away at the age of 89. Arkin, who received an Oscar and a Bafta for his performance in the movie, had a career that spanned seven decades in both screen and stage productions. His sons, Adam, Matthew, and Anthony, confirmed his death in a family statement released on Friday. Describing their father as a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and as a person, the statement expressed the deep love and admiration they had for him. Arkin was not only a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather but also an exceptional artist who left a lasting impact on the entertainment industry.

Alan Arkin won the Oscar 4 times in his career In addition to his film roles, Arkin lent his voice to the character of JD Salinger in the Netflix animated series "BoJack Horseman" from 2015 to 2016. Paul Reiser, Arkin's co-star in the Netflix show "The Kominsky Method," shared his grief on Twitter, mentioning that a world without Alan Arkin would not be so great. He reminisced about the first time he saw Arkin on screen and how getting to know him and making him laugh was a highlight of his life. Michael McKean, known for his role in "Spinal Tap," also paid tribute to Arkin, considering him a hero and a friend. He shared an anecdote from his early acting days when people questioned whether he wanted to be a serious or funny actor. McKean would respond by asking, "Which kind is Alan Arkin?" because Arkin's talent and versatility defied categorization. McKean described Arkin as charming, hilarious, and possessing an impeccable sense of detecting nonsense, making it a pleasure to be around him. Arkin's career extended beyond acting, as he ventured into directing early on and received a Tony nomination in 1973 for his work on the play "The Sunshine Boys." However, it was his performance in the 2006 film "Little Miss Sunshine" that brought him widespread acclaim and recognition. Playing the role of Edwin Hoover, the foul-mouthed grandfather, Arkin's portrayal earned him an Oscar and Bafta for Best Supporting Actor. The tragicomedy revolved around a dysfunctional family taking their youngest member to participate in a child beauty pageant, and Arkin's character became a memorable part of the film. While Arkin received critical acclaim for his work, he never let the buzz and talk surrounding him affect him. In his memoir, "Out of My Mind," published in 2018, he revealed his struggle with misery despite his earlier success. He shared how he found solace through meditation and turned his personal life around. Acting had been his lifeline, providing him with a sense of existence and purpose on stage. Throughout his career, Arkin showcased his talent in various roles, including his portrayal of Lester Siegel, a pretend Hollywood producer, in Ben Affleck's 2012 historical drama "Argo." The film depicted the Iran hostage crisis and the daring plan to rescue the captive embassy employees by creating a fake film. Arkin also appeared in adaptations like Mike Nichols' film version of Joseph Heller's satirical novel "Catch-22" and received Emmy Award nominations for his television work, including shows like "Escape from Sobibor," "The Pentagon Papers," and "The Kominsky Method." Arkin's contributions to the entertainment industry were recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019, honoring his remarkable career and enduring legacy. Read the full article
