New book to defend Pius XII...





This past Thursday in Rome Sen. Andreotti presented Sr. Margherita Marchione's latest book: Pope Pius XII: An Anthology on the 70th Anniversary of Coronation (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2009, 16 euro).
This most recent book by Sr. Margherita Marchione was written to defend the maligned name of the wartime Pontiff, Pius XII. This latest book is 179 pages and the first half is written in Italian, with the second half a translation into English.
The book presentation was hosted in Rome's prestigious Palace Marini of the Camera dei Deputati in downtown Rome. Sr. Margherita, a sprite 86 years of age with Sen. Andreotti , who is now in his 90th year, both insisted that now is the time for the beatification of Pius XII. Each said with firm and confident words: "Santo subito" (sainthood now).

Why does Israel calumniate his name at Yad Vashem? Tell them to read S. Margherita!

It is about time this transpires...

There is so much irrefutable evidence out there, any rational & non-tendentious historian or politician (rational being the operative world) should be able to see the truth.

I am as pro Israel as they come but much of the rhetoric which emanated from certain quarters in Israel & on the blogspherse (usually from Evangelical & Protestant factions) was appalling during the Holy Father's journey to the Holy Land.

Yes, Santo Subito! Now it is the time for Pius XII beatification, not ten years from now.
