Pius XII Saved Lives

A response to: Pius XII's War Efforts Seen on Rediscovered Films

Let us all pray that the cause for beatification and canonization of Pope Pius Xll gathers even more momentum now that these latest findings regarding the rediscovered films are being made public. There are numerous testimonies that already have been public that prove Pope Pius Xll played a major role in saving over 80% of Italy's Jewish population during the Second World War by putting the word out to Italy's Catholic religious communities to help out which they certainly did. Salt and Light Television in Canada made a wonderful documentary about this remarkable and totally misunderstood wartime Pontiff.
