Vatican envoy to shun Holocaust ceremony over pope picture

Thu Apr 12, 1:57 PM ET

The Vatican's ambassador to Israel said on Thursday that he would not attend an annual Holocaust memorial next week at the Yad Vashem memorial because of its negative portrayal of the wartime pope.

Monsignor Antonio Franco said he would boycott the ceremony on Sunday night at the memorial museum in Jerusalem because of a caption that appears next to a photo of Pope Pius XII, the pontiff during most of World War II.

"It hurts to go to Yad Vashem and see how Pius XII is presented there," Franco said to the Italian bishops news agency SIR.

"This photo offends the entire Catholic Church," he said, adding he had already conveyed his disapproval of the use of the picture last year.

My list of Great Popes:

  • Leo I (440-461), convinced Attila to turn back invasion
  • Pius VI (1775-1799) who condemned French Revolution
  • John XXIII (1958-1963), Vatican II
  • John Paul II (1978-2005), who scared European Communists greatly (as shown by Agca's attempt to murder him), present when Communism collapsed in Europe

Pius XII survived WW2 by being useless.

yup.

Good to see there aren't any calls for beheading those who insult the Pope either.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
