The article you quote itself contains the following sentence:
`... it may be said that this matter, so unpleasant as it regards German-Vatican relations, has been liquidated." `
Doesn`t that suggest that the Vatican was in fact pushing its luck about as far as it could in pressuring the Germans to refrain from exterminating the Jews?
Thing is, most of the Pope`s critics are representatives of groups that did even less. And it has yet to be shown that more radical actions by the Church would have done any good. It is noteworthy that the Nazis did find the Catholic Church more troublesome than any other, and if Zionists after the war complained that the Church wouldn`t ship all the Jewish children it had hidden off to Palestine, at least it did hide the children. |
