The Nazi Popes

The Vatican said the Pope’s decision moving the wartime pope Pius XII closer to sainthood was not a “hostile act” against the Jews who claim Pius turned a blind eye to the Holocaust.

The last two Popes from Poland and Germany were closely tied to the Nazis. The previous Pope had grown up on the perimeter outskirts of Auschwitz Nazi death camp during the war and his successor was photographed in a Nazi Youth uniform.

Sainthood of someone wildly accused by the victims brings an ironic end by making the perpetrators into saints. The Talmud-Book of Metaphor says, if Germania does what it wants it will destroy the world–the Second World War was a war which had to be fought.

The Cabala explains that a saint Ztadik/Righteous is one who works endlessly for the Creator because he does not possess a inclinations to do otherwise; saintliness has nothing to do with pomp and ceremony or even what we believe and don’t believe–to be a saint one must be pure of heart, with intention only to God.

The Torah teaches about saints by following their lives and reporting on their deeds. The Midrash–Book of Metaphor says the soul of the saint is so rare that God had to plant at least one in each generation to sustain the world.
