You are not an honest Christian but more intent on pushing your own biases rather than search for truth. You has the most powerful and accurate condemnation of Nazism possible in PiusXII encyclical but maliciously avoid it and instead distort his views by selecting passages out of context. This is what you avoided in the same document: (The anti-Christ spirit of hatred and slander found in Talmudic Judaism is shaping your emotions and thinking) "In spring 1936, Pius issued an encyclical against Nazism and C ommunism. He ordered the following to be read from all German pulpits: . . . only superficial minds can fall into the error of speaking of a national God, a national religion, or make the attempt to imprison, with the fr ontiers of a single people, God, the Creator of the world. This was the first time Germany heard the opinion of the Church against Nazism. When Hitler heard, through channels, of the papal order, he bann ed its reading. It was too late. Not only had millions of Germans already heard the encyc lical, but so had the world. Hitler was furious and ordered several reprisals. Over o ne thousand priests were confined at Dachau after undergoing "immorality trials." Catholic schools were attacked. Church property was confi scated and Church leaders were harassed, but, once again, Hitler was shrewd. He o rdered that no priests from the higher ranks of the Church were to be arrested. He empha sized continually that Germany wanted no Catholic martyrs. Pius XI, with Cardinal Pacelli as his secretary of sta te, continued his verbal attacks upon Hitler and Nazism. The German bishops were ordered to re ad pastoral letters and give sermons which denounced the Third Reich. In 1937, the Italian government assured the pope that all rights of the Jews would be respected. In 1938, Pius XI delivered an encyclical that raged against racism when he stated tha t "we are all spiritual Semites . . . " Then July 28, 1938, the government of Italy dealt the pope a p olitical blow. A manifesto was issued, stating that Jews did not belong to the Itali an "race." The government withdrew all protection from the Jews. The Italian peopl e were uneasy; the "Aryan Manifesto" was an unpopular political move. Great tension arose between the Holy See and the Fascist government under Mussolini. Pius XI urged all Italian Catholic groups to fight and reje ct Italy's racial policies. Pacelli, with his brilliant legal background, ascertained that the pope's exhortations were "spiritual" and, thus, within the agreements of the Late ran Treaty. The pope became openly defiant in his defense of both Catholics and Jews. In 1938, Hitler decided to publicly lessen his immoral, but "legal" actions against the Church and Jews; privately, he accelerated the pace of solving the Jewish question. "
