General Discussion

But have resented the Anti-Choicers since the '70s. My nuclear family was totally devout and also totally Dem. My lone surviving elder sister has been going to daily Mass all her adult life, and one of her close church friends told her she is going to Hell because of Choice.

Going to a bigger picture, I held on to my image of Pius XII as what a pope should be like and ignored the allegations of "Hitler's pope". There are more documents and books. Just saw a couple of YouTubes that are damning, that he was deeply anti-Semitic and kept direct, back channel communication with the Nazis throughout. Then after the war the church ran a network getting big Nazis with Church passports and new identities to places like Argentina.

Yeah there are extenuating factors, like Canada taking 6K nazis and the US building the Space program with them. And in 1939 Pius was not alone in fearing Hitler might win and in strategizing to cope with the possibility.

But am getting more judging.
