A letter from Pope Pius XII to his representative in Paris on November 20, 1946 shows that the Vatican ordered Jewish babies baptized during the Holocaust not to be returned to their parents.
When the Pope of Rome comes to Israel on a visit in May, he will be met by Orthodox Jewish demands of insight in the closed archives of the Vatican. Rabbi Shalom Dov Lipshitz from the Anti-Missionary organization Yad L’Achim, in todays Jerusalem Post, disclose parts of his letter to the Pope.
Lipshitz claims that Catholic families were told by the Pope not not disclose the Jewishness of Jewish children who had survived the Holocaust.
«We view with utmost gravity media reports that these families were acting on [the] order of Pope Pius XII, who stated that the orphans should not be told they are Jews»
Pope John Paul II did not respond to a request by Ukraine’s Chief Rabbi Yaakov Dov Bleich to open church archives and reveal the names of Jewish children who were raised as Catholics during World War II.
The Vatican has refused to open its war time archive, claiming that Cannon Law do not permit public access. The Vatican has nevertheless announced, that the files from prior to World War II, and during the War, might be opened for public scrutiny in the year 2013. The Vatican has meet strong Jewish objection to its plan of declaring Pope Pius XII a saint.
Christian Zionists and Evangelical Christians do not recognize the Pope in Rome as a Christian. The Pope is a leader of an apostate Church, that lives in many errors. One of them is his views on the state of Israel and the Jewish people, whom all believers in the Jewish Messiah are called to support.

There may or may not be some truth to the statement that some Jewish children were baptized Catholic. I don’t know how you can prove that it was unwilling at this late date. The time was a state of confusion, and the Catholic Church worked tirelessly to help Jews against the Nazi onslaught. Your last statement about what Zionists and Evangelicals think of the pope holds no merit, the Pope is, in fact, the head Christian. It’s funny how the apostate evangelicals call the true Church apostate, isn’t it?
I don’t know about the modern state of Israel, but I do know that the Catholic faith is the continuation of the Jewish faith-our salvation comes from the Jews.
Dear David.
The Catholic Faith can never be a continuation of the Jewish faith. Because the Jews were not allowed to make any images or idols. Just read the second commandment.
People who believe in the Jewish Messiah, our Lord Jesus of Nazareth, do not make images and idols of anything. The day they understand that God of Israel hates idols, they throw whatever idols they might have put up in their houses, in the nearest river.
The first believers in Jesus were all Bible (Old Testament) believing Jews. There was no New Testament around at that time. One of the first believers was the Torah observant Paul. He told us that Jesus taught him to worship the invisible God, a God that wants us to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.
When Jesus told us to pray, He told us to go inside our room and to pray to our Father who is unseen. Not to go inside our room, bow down to an idol and pray.
Rome is full of idols. Of Popes, saints and Madonnas. The Roman faith is not Biblical.
Is this why Moses was told to make an image of the seraph serpent for the Israelites who were bitten to look upon and be healed? How about the cherubim made for the Ark of the Covenant? The cherubim in the inner sanctuary in 1 Kings? Cherubim also in Ezekiel?
The point is that the images we make are to always remind us of God. The statues in Rome and all over the world in Catholic Churches are reminders to us of saintly people.
The Roman faith may not be Biblical, but the Catholic faith is totally Biblical.
Dear David.
Thanks for using the Bible.
Numbers 21:9
So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.
2 Kings 18:4
He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it.
The Bible says that King Hoshea did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. So go into the Catholic Church and brake into pieces all the Idols, that its priest burns incense to…
And please, never bow down to them, and kiss such idols, as the faithful Catholics keeps on doing.
Destroy our representations of our venerated heroes? No. Bow to them? No. Kiss them? Never.
The Church does not teach that we should do these things. People do so on their own. There is nothing wrong with having a picture or statue of someone you care for deeply. Venerate what they represent? Always. We do not worship statues. Statues represent the people who exempify our faith to the very best.
Dear David.
Thanks for not bowing down to idols, and for not kissing them.
Now, let all the faithful go and visit a Catholic Church of their own choice, and get a fist hand experience.
