Much needed thoughtful; fact-based; critical appraisalBy DalcassianThis is the probably the real go-to book for intelligent criticism of Pius XII and World War II and the Holocaust. Unlike the "Hitler's Pope" or worse; Hochuth's "The Deputy"; it does not rely on false assumptions; character-slander or a constant twisting of the record rooted in ideological prejudice. And Kornberg provides a logical and well-supported argument: namely that Pius XII refused to be confrontational with the Nazis because he feared losing his constituency. More specifically; Kornberg sees Pacelli/Pius as seeing the Church as a savior of souls that must survive. This necessarily conflicts with a role claimed as moral guide of western civilization or even German Catholics.Kornberg's book should be the worthy end of one part of the spectrum on which the other end would be Riebling who argues that Pius had a conscious agenda to aid in the overthrow of Hitler by acting coy and neutral; enabling connections to be kept up by the church between the Allies and German dissidents within the establishment. That is supported by the fact that the Vatican did precisely that in 1940 as Kornberg shows as well. Kornberg also; to his credit; corrects the implication that Pacelli in his pre-pope days orchestrated the destruction of the Center Party in Germany to the benefit of the Nazis.This reviewer does not agree with all or many of Kornberg's conclusions. Kornberg tries to impute a measure of papal anti-semitism in refusals or refrainings from changing older liturgical language while ignoring direct Vatican radio denunciations of anti-semitism during the war. The author ignores a record of personal phio-semitism and encouragement of rescue. He also too blithely dismisses the sources showing the Pope's troubled reaction to the Dutch bishops' outspoken denunciation of a German roundup of Jews being ignored by the Nazis and resulting in worse response.There are other problems; but Kornberg applies serious judgment and facts overall. Let the interpretations differ. The Pius debates will continue as Pius XII often serves as a figure into which to stuff opinions and prejudices rather than an actual historical person making the policy decisions of a decentralized increasingly irrelevant institution in real time in a world run by ideas; populations; violence; and violent rulers that had moved past it.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Most Important Study of Pius XII in a Generation.By robert f.melsonThis is the most important study of Pius XII in a generation. Kornberg shows in meticulous detail that when confronted with Nazism; the Pope believed that he was forced to choose between helping to save lives or of preserving the Church. He chose the Church.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Joaquim J. A. Olendzkiexcellent
