November 10, 2008 Vatican Documents on Pius XII Released The Vatican continues to delay the release of its own wartime archives. Therefore in the public interest we have decided to release at intervals portions of the more interesting documents accumulated during our ongoing litigation against the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order of Friars Minor regarding money laundering of Axis war loot. We have previously released information on Vatican gold dealing. We now turn to the immediate post war conduct of the Vatican and Pius XII. A post Second World War priority of the Vatican was the establishment of a mega-Catholic state in Central Europe. Both Nazi allied Slovakia and Croatia were governed by ultra Catholic clerical fascists with genocidal consequences for Jews, Serbs, and Roma. The Vatican was not deterred by the immediate failure of these regimes, instead attempting to enlist Allied support for a restoration of the discredited German Hapsburg dynasty. The same dynasts which started the First World War. Germanophile Pius and his Vatican apparently had no concept that a Fourth German Reich was a non starter Of interest these days are the alleged good works of Pius XII towards Jews during and in the aftermath of the Holocaust. However payments of cash from the World Jewish Congress directly to Pius raise grave doubts about the Vatican’s generosity. The Vatican hoarded gold during the Second World War and helped the Nazi allied Ustasha stash 200 million gold Swiss Francs at the Vatican around the same time it was taking payments from the World Jewish Congress. What was the money for? Rent for Jews hidden by the Catholic Church in convents or room and board for Jewish children converted by the Catholic Church during the war? Only the Vatican knows and they are not talking. Dr. Jonathan Levy |
