Pius XII: The Real Deal

There's been a lot of misinformation about Pope Pius XII over the years. Even The New York Times, which lauded his humanitarian efforts in its own pages during World War II, has jumped on the anti-papal bandwagon, like so many lemmings jumping off a cliff.

Simon-Peter Vickers-Buckley, an Englishman living in North Carolina, has penned an excellent view of this pope, with unique insights into his true character, in a piece entitled "Pope Pius XII: There's more to Jesus than Jews." Simon-Peter does not mention His Holiness' love of racing sportscars along the Italian countryside, nor his hobby of weight-lifting (two things I learned while reading La Popessa). But still, if someone isn't careful, they might learn a thing or two.
