The Secret History of the Pope and World War II (originally broadcast 2022)
Manage episode 436678302 series 2968034
In March 2020, the Vatican’s Apostolic Archives of Pope Pius XII — also known as the Vatican’s “secret archives” — were opened to scholars from around the world. Historian and Watson Professor David Kertzer was one of those scholars.
What he found there is helping to reframe the role that the Catholic Church — and its then-leader, Pope Pius XII — played in World War II.
Pius XII’s legacy is heavily debated. Some want him to be made a saint. Others call him ‘“Hitler’s Pope,” blaming him for aiding the Nazi regime and, ultimately, facilitating the Holocaust.
What David Kertzer found is a much more complicated story.
On this episode of “Trending Globally,” originally broadcast in the summer of 2022, the story of “a pope at war” and what it can teach us about the need for moral leadership in times of crisis.
