Title: Just surfing Wikipedia... Pope Pius XII, World War II

Pius XII wouldn't allow escaped allied prisoners of war, Jews, and others to seek refuge in neutral Vatican City fearing it would compromise their neutrality.

"Pius XII neither ordered, nor was aware of the full extent, of the rescue operations carried out by Catholics and Catholic institutions. In fact, Zuccotti argues that Pius XII disapproved of the rescue efforts, as evidenced by a December 1943 letter from the Rector of Pontificio Seminario Romano Maggiore apologizing to Pius XII for accepting refugees, apparently having been previously reprimanded. Zuccotti also finds a February 1944 order to remove fugitives from Vatican properties inconsistence with the existence of a papal directive to save Jews."

What in the hell makes you think it was unknown to me?  Every topic and issue brought up for discussion on getbig is foreign to the OP?

???

I would go so far as to say that I know the History of the Second World War better than anyone on this board.
