-Caveat Lector-

Well, the Vatican had better be careful or they will find
themselves listed by ADL as a Hate Group if they are not already.
I seem to recall a large number of Catholics being sent to the same
fate the as Jews in this Holocaust but they just do not seem to
count at all.  Those demanding so much respect for their own
religion might start by showing some for the religion of others.

I hope they do not make one of those disgusting ads like they did
on the dragging death in Texas and show it every single day they
way they still do that one. It is STILL aired DAILY.  Maybe they
will have one featuring the Pope as the perpetrator of Hate Crimes
for his failure to do as they say.  After all, Hate Crimes can only
be committed against Blacks and Jews and Homosexuals.  No one else
seems to be important enough to count in these matters. JPII Better
hop, hop to it if he knows what is good for him, hadn't he?

Vatican speaks out against Holocaust panel's 'slanderous campaign'

By VICTOR L. SIMPSON, Associated Press

VATICAN CITY
(August 7, 2001 10:12 a.m. EDT ) - Accusing Jewish historians on a
special Holocaust commission of mounting a "slanderous campaign"
against the Catholic church, the Vatican said the group's "clearly
incorrect behavior" insults the church's integrity.

The accusation Tuesday was part of the Vatican's response to the
recent announcement that a panel of Jewish and Catholic historians
investigating the Vatican's actions during the Holocaust had
suspended its work because the Vatican has not released all of its
World War II-era archives.

The Vatican's response was written by the Rev. Peter Gumpel, a
German Jesuit gathering documents to support the possible
beatification of Pope Pius XII, the World War II pope.

In it, he defended Pius' action, saying material made available to
the historians showed that Pius "made every possible effort to save
as many lives as possible, without any distinction."

The historians, who were appointed by the Vatican and a Jewish
group to examine Pius' actions, released a preliminary report in
October. They described a pope bent on fruitless diplomacy as
reports of atrocities poured into the Vatican.

The historians said at the time that questions still needed to be
answered before they could issue a final report. They expressed
hope that the Vatican would open up the archives of the Holy See's
correspondences to fill in the gaps in the 12 volumes of wartime
documents provided by the Vatican.

Gumpel said he had met with the group and answered some of their
questions and offered to answer the rest at another session, but
that this was ignored.

It was therefore disconcerting, he said, that in the following
months "some Jewish members in the group had systematically
affirmed that they never received answers to their questions."

He also said it was "false" that the Vatican does not intend to
open up its archives, saying this will be done as soon as they are
ready.

Gumpel said several though not all the Jewish members of the
commission had "publicly spread the suspicion" that the Holy See
was trying to hide documents "that in their judgment could be
compromising."

He did not give their names.

Gumpel said the panel's work had failed as a result of
"irresponsible" actions by some of its members.
