Kolbe was a brave man for trying to help the jews, but, he may have been the only one that tried to. This article tells you all about how Pope Pius XII and the Bishops in Germany were Nazi sympathizers before and during the war. If you have a weak stomach, you may not want to read it. Here's how the jews were treated in Rome under the shadow of St. Peter's statue.
"In his chapter on the beginning of the tribulations for the Jews of Rome, John Cornwell explains that the trucks carting the Jews off to their deaths were driven right past St. Peter's square, so that the Roman Catholic soldiers on them could see the famous center of Catholicism. He also shows that contrary to the figment that Pope Pius XII had to fear NAZI retribution against him and his church, the German occupiers themselves didn't want to move against the Jews of Rome, because these German occupiers feared the reaction of the Italian Catholic population, which was very sympathetic to the Jews. Pope Pius refused to intervene on behalf of the Jews of Rome even though the leadership of the German occupation itself was urging him to protest publicly and to register his objections with Berlin.Instead, five days later this entry appears in the meticulously kept log at Auschwitz: "Transport, Jews from Rome.After the selection 149 men (registered with numbers 158451-158639) and 47 women (registered with numbers 66172- 66218) have been admitted to the detention camp. The rest have been gassed."Another misunderstanding that Cornwell clears up here is the role of the chief Rabbi of Rome at this time. Israel Zolli has been used since then as a great apologist for Pope Pius XII. When Catholics quote Zolli and point out that he became a convert to Roman Catholicism, look to see if they also reveal that this so-called "chief rabbi of Rome" was disowned by the Jews (i.e. practically "defrocked") for abandoning his community at their time of greatest need, while accepting the hospitality of Pius XII for himself and his immediate family within the walls of the papal residence, a palace with eleven THOUSAND rooms(sic), more than enough to hide every last one of the 1900 Jews of Rome."
Pope Pius XII should have been arrested and shot as a war criminal instead of given sainthood. He was Hitler's Pope, so, he could have had some influence on Hitler killing the Jews. The irony of all of this is that Einstein and Enrico Firmi, who developed the atom bomb, were both of jewish ancestry. There have been 120 jews that have won Nobel prizes for their scientific work. That's a very high percentage for the total number given out since there are only 14 million jews on earth. Hitler may have killed a jew that could have made an atomic bomb for him. There's a reason the jews are so smart, but, Hitler hated them so much that he would have never figured it out. Think about this. Out of those 6 million jews that Hitler killed may have been one or two that made great scientific discoveries that may have enhanced our lives.
Be sure you check out that link above: a palace with 11,000 rooms Here are 3 paragraphs that best describes the catholic church from that article.
"How could anyone doubt that the "Supreme Pontiffs" who were carried around in this sumptuous carriage, were the authentic representatives of Jesus of Nazareth, who (according to Matthew and Luke) said: "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
John the Baptist explained that in order to be saved, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise" (Luke 3:11)"Every once in a while a Pope emerges whose conscience is bothered by the extravagance of his church's wealth. One such pope was John Paul the First, who once revealed in a public audience in 1978:“. . . this morning, I flushed my toilet with a solid gold lever edged with diamonds and at this very moment, bishops and cardinals are using a bathroom on the second floor of the papal palace which trappings, I am told, would draw more than fifty million dollars at auction . . . Believe me, one day, we who live in opulence, while so many are dying because they have nothing, will have to answer to Jesus as to why we have not carried out His instruction, ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself.’ We, the clergy of the Church together with our congregations, who substitute gold and pomp and ceremony in place of Christ’s instruction, who judge our masquerade of singing His praises to be more precious than human life, will have the most to explain.”
