1942 letter suggests Pope Pius XII knew "detailed information" about mass killings of Jews and Poles
Pius XII, pope during World War II, was informed of the mass murders of Jews and Poles by a Jesuit in Germany in 1942, contradicting the Catholic Church's prior claims about its its awareness of the Holocaust.

@Nonog I mean, it's the catholic church. They are plague, as most formal religions are.
(Talking about the institutions, not the personal beliefs)
@Nonog the church counts on people not grasping how small Europe is. The Vatican is like a 15min walk from Paris but the pope "didn't hear nothin"
@Nonog just why am I not surprised?🤔
@Nonog
As far as I (72, catholic girl) know, he knew very well.
@Nonog the Catholic Church and covering up heinous acts - name a more iconic duo.
