1. stop complaining
jerry ,   canada   (11.22.10)
i bet if pius knew how ungrateful you were going to be he wouldnt have saved any if you! Speaking frankly anyone who was able to save 1 jew during the war was brave because if you were caught it meant your own life. so why dont you ungrateful bastards stop complaining and be grateful to the religion that saved you
2.  Lies From The Hitler Youth Pope.
Menachem Ben Yakov ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (11.22.10)
One should not be shocked that a " person " who sang songs of Jewish blood dripping from his knife tries to rewrite history. There are many Catholics today who are genuine humanitarians. The grotesque, bloated fool who currently leads their movement disgraces them. May his name be erased.
3. There is a time to speak out and loudly
Galut ,   Selah   (11.22.10)
The Vatican says he worked quietly behind the scenes because speaking out would have prompted Nazi reprisals against Catholics and Jews in Europe. ~~~~~~~~~~~ one day those that were silent in those days will have to give account... to God
4. WHO CARES
tehila ,   tel aviv israel   (11.22.10)
who cares???? . . . is this really that important??? so the current pope thinks this old pope was ok at the time, how does this really matter to anyone in israel in 2010???
5. Jerry - Nazi name?
Len ,   Australia   (11.22.10)
Ok Jerry or Kraut, Saving one person and lettiing the six million others perish is ok to you ? just to save your your own worthless life? The Roman Catholic Church was guilty for the extermination of Jews, Why ?because Hitler was a Catholic, trained by Jesuits. The Pope called him the the "son of the Church". No the Catholic church didnt save any Jews, Individual Catholics saved some Jews but the Church and the cowardly Pope remained silent. The church can make him a saint a million times but it will not change the fact.
6. I would suggest readers who listen to the Pope
Rivkah   (11.22.10)
and follow his religion read the book by C.J. Koster called "Come Out of Her My People." Popes pretend to be Christ on earth, just as Rabbi Yeshua warned there would be many who come after him claiming to be Christ, but they are not. People need to see the pagan roots of the Roman Catholic and most Protestant religions that pervade the churches and are an offense to YHWH. If you see the pagan aspects, you can find that the original religion of Rabbi Yeshua was Jewish, is Jewish, and will always be Jewish and it is those roots people need to get back to.
7. hitler was a catholic who celebrated christmas
(11.22.10)
8. the pope should quit huffing the glue
hey dude quit ,   huffing the glue   (11.22.10)
because it is rotting his brains. he can not remember anything. so dude quit huffing the glue, and get a clue! you are stupid and so is all who came before you if they think this!!
9. It's all in the text
djay ,   Ldn, UK   (11.22.10)
"he feared the consequences." but they want to make him a hero... no-no, scratch that, A SAINT!! Is this dude serious? What sort of twisted minds can sanctify someone whose actions range between cowardness and complicity to crime against humanity
10. "saved"?! give us our children back!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.22.10)
pope pius "saved" jewish children by allowing them to hide them in catholic institutions, but why has the vatican not released the documents from that era? why are the documents which would allow those children (now senior citizens) to know their heritage, and reclaim their birthright as jews, still a closely guarded secret in the vatican archives? pope benedict coyly refers to this as "saving", but it is really "stealing" the souls of many thousands of jewish children, and forcibly converting them to catholicism. may he and pope pius get what they deserve for this crime - this is not the work of a "saint"!
11. TO # 1 - JERRY .... YOU ARE PATHETIC
SHOSH ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.10)
YOU ARE A PATHETIC BASTARD. JUST SIT IN CANADA AND MIND YOUR OWN DIRTY BLOODY BUSINESS
12. Comments by Grand Rabbi Ovadia Josef
seadog1946 ,   Shooters Island, NJ   (11.22.10)
concerning gentiles (donkeys, servants of the Jews) does not cause dismay with Jewish leaders.
13. #1 Catholicism...
Brother Joe ,   Bay Parkway   (11.22.10)
is a kind of perversion of Christianity, especially the Mary stuff. But one thing you need to remember, without the Jews, (whom you refer to as bastards) you wouldn't have a religion. The same goes for whacked-out Islam.
14. to 13 Brother Joe: AMEN!
goyish zionist ,   HQ   (11.22.10)
15. #12 Not if it refers to people such as yourself.
(11.22.10)
16. Saving, or Converting?
Al   (11.22.10)
By "saving more Jews" I think he meant converting them to Christianity...! But really. Catholics and their leadership are far from perfect. Just yesterday we read that according to the pope, condoms may be acceptable in some cases. Really!! god changed his mind again!! This means that in 200 years, condoms will be totally acceptable according to Catholicism.
17. false in one thing, false in everything
observer   (11.22.10)
Six million Polish citizens were killed during the Holocaust - only half were Jewish. The greatest number of Gentile rescuers of Jews were Poles, despite the fact that only in Poland were people (and their loved ones) immediately executed if caught trying to save Jews. Most Poles, by far, adhere to the Christian faith, with 89.8% -95% belonging to the Roman Catholic Church. Germany is to a large degree Lutheran. That is why Jews belittle the number Polish Catholics victims of the Holocaust.. Also, Jews downplay the role played by Polish Catholics in saving Jewish lives.
18. to #7
Arul   (11.23.10)
All those who celebrate Christmas are not christians and all those who are born to christian parents are not christians either. The one who truly follows Lord Jesus' teaching is a Christian
19. My apologies
Joe ,   Toronto Canada   (11.23.10)
for a fellow Canadian's anti-Semitic rant. We have billions of tons of rock here for people to be hatched under. Unfortunately, we can't turn it all over in time for some to be hatched.
20. THE SAME GUY WANTED TO MAKE QUEEN ISABELLA A SAINT.
.....DACON9   (11.23.10)
THEY ARE ALL THE AME ANY NUMBER YOU PIC. POOP 1 THROUGH XX ALL THE SAME ..ALL WANTS TO CONVERT THE JEW.. ALL PERMITTED TO LIE TO JEWS INORDER TO CONVERT US. THEY SAY IT THEY KNOW IT THEIR ENDS JUSTIFIES THEIR MEANS....''GET THE JEW TO ACCEPT THE HANGING MANgod!''
21. pius hid, protected war criminals, helped them escape justic
dante ,   uk   (11.23.10)
pius was sympathetic to the germans. he hated the Jews. he was ambivalent about the persecution of the Jews. but he was not ambivalent about helping the war criminals: after the war, he allowed the use of vatican resources to protect war criminals and help them escape justice. there would have been no "rat line" without the church.
22. The church, the pagans, the popes - all in one
Jo   (11.23.10)
Why should we stop complaining, when bastards of your stature started slaughtering Jews 2000 years ago. Throughout history, Carnage , christianity, the church, went hand in hand, popes included. right # 1 ? --- And to you # 7, Hitler was a vile catholic (very much in vogue) who celebrated a beloved vile and pagan holiday.
23. Front page picture
jo   (11.23.10)
Pius XII worked quietly behind the scene ----- Hitler worked quietly behind the scene as well ; and so did the Siemens family, and the pagan Hadj amin al Husseini (may he, his descendants,his tribe, roast in hell on a skewer forever) _ " Hitle's Pope " is an interesting book
24. pope
catholic ,   ireland   (11.23.10)
when people kill who will stop them. it happens often, pope is not a political leader he represents a tribe of people who wish to follow in the footsteps of Christ. This is a peacefull tribe.
25. 17
sean ,   ireland   (11.23.10)
this is sad but very true polish persons have suffered greatly
26. @17- Half Polish victims were non-Jews?
European ,   Stockholm   (11.23.10)
I didn't realise that. I hear a 6 million number come up time and again (though mainsteam historians seem to have lowered it to around 5 million now), occassionally a much higher number from Ahmadinejad (encompassing all WWII) deaths, now a number of how many Gypsys were killed in WWII, or how many Scandinavians died in WWII. Strange that.
27. religion...
faysal ,   dubai   (11.23.10)
is no longer relevant
28. Hitler renounced his Christian faith after WW1
Brad ,   USA   (11.23.10)
its rich to hear you Jews on Ynet spewing hate against Jesus and Christians ..... US evangelical Christians would get a shock to know what Israelis really feel about their beloved saviour. Don't you hate-filled Jews realise that the support of those US Christians is worth more to Israelis than an imaginary sky wizard who is no more real than the Jesus figure you love spitting on in talkbacks read by your US Christian supporters You Christ haters are sick puppies
29. Jews dismayed
Voice of Reason ,   Here & Now   (11.23.10)
OH NO Rivka"s back and there is gonna be trouble.
30. he meant to say that Pious saved more Nazis than anyone else
