  Pope Pius XII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pacelli, the last Pope of modern times to be of noble birth, was a grandson of Marcantonio Pacelli, founder of the Vatican's newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, a nephew of Ernesto Pacelli, a key financial advisor to Pope Leo XII, and a son of Filippo Pacelli, dean of the Vatican lawyers.
Eugenio Pacelli served the Holy See largely as a diplomat and his role within the Church was largely centered on diplomatic negotiation with Germany.
However, as Cardinal Pacelli, Pius XII was against the Nazis' increasing political power in Germany and in August 1933 wrote to the British representative to the Holy See his disgust with the Nazis and "their persecution of the Jews, their proceedings against political opponents, the reign of terror to which the whole nation was subjected."

 Full Text of Abridged Version of 'Hitler's Pope,'by John Cornwell
Eugenio Pacelli, by then a brilliant young Vatican lawyer, had a major part in the drafting of that instrument, which was known as the Code of Canon Law.
Pacelli wrote back on September 28, 1917, informing Gaspam that he had again seen the Rabbi, who "was perfectly convinced of the reasons I had given him and thanked me warmly for all that I had done on his behalf." Pacelli had done nothing except thwart the rabbi's request.
Pacelli was convinced that the Jews had brought misfortune on their own heads: intervention on their behalf could only draw the church into alliances with forces inimical to Catholicism.

 HITLER'S POPE
Pacelli wrote back on September 28, 1917, informing Gasparri that he had again seen the rabbi, who "was perfectly convinced of the reasons I had given him and thanked me warmly for all that I had done on his behalf." Pacelli had done nothing except thwart the rabbi's request.
Pacelli was not a man to condone mass murder, but he evidently chose to turn a blind eye on Ustashe atrocities rather than hinder a unique opportunity to extend the power of the papacy.
Pacelli, whose canonization process is now well advanced, has become the icon, 40 years after his death, of those traditionalists who read and revise the provisions of the Second Vatican Council from the viewpoint of Pacelli's ideology of papal power-an ideology that has proved disastrous in the century’s history.

Eugenio Pacelli was born March 2, 1876 in Rome, Italy.
Eugenio "was raised in an ambiance of intense Catholic piety, penurious respectability, and an enduring sense of injured papal merit." In other words, his family saw the papacy as the final word, the highest law.
In 1933, Pacelli negotiated the Reich Concordat with Adolf Hitler.

Spanning Pacelli's career from the beginning of the century, my research told the story of a bid for unprecedented papal power that by 1933 had drawn the Catholic Church into complicity with the darkest forces of that era.
Pacelli found himself, as a brilliant young Vatican lawyer in the early twentieth century, assisting in the drafting of ever more controlling, centrist Church laws, culminating in the Code of Canon Law in 1917.
Pacelli's narrow focus on increasing the power of the papacy had blinded him to the wider dangers of his ambitions and actions.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Exposing Hitler's Pope and Its Author
Entitled Hitler's Pope and soon to appear in paperback, it purports to be the "definitive biography" of Eugenio Pacelli, who served as papal nuncio to Germany (1917-1929) and cardinal secretary of state (1930-1939) before serving as Pope Pius XII from 1939 until his death in 1958.
"Pacelli's constant harping on the Jewishness of this party of power usurpers is consistent with the growing and widespread belief among Germans that the Jews were the instigators of the Bolshevik revolution, their principal aim being the destruction of Christian civilization.
Indeed, shortly before he ascended to the papacy, Eugenio Pacelli, acting in his capacity as Vatican secretary of state, appealed to governments throughout the world to throw open their borders to persecuted Jews who were seeking emigration and refuge from Hitler's reign of terror.

Eugenio Pacelli was described routinely, during his pontificate and after his death, as a member of the Black Nobility.
Pacelli's father and grandfather before him owed their distinction to membership of the caste of lay Vatican lawyers in the service of the papacy.
Pacelli's immediate family association with the Holy See dates from 1819, when his grandfather, Marcantonio Pacelli, arrived in the Eternal City to study canon law, or Church law, as a protoge of a clerical uncle, Monsiignor Prospero Caterini.

Eugenio Pacelli comes of what is commonly called an ancient Italian noble family which had lost its wealth but not its piety.
Pacelli made such progress in the department that at the comparatively early age of 41 he was sent out on a very important mission.
Pacelli had come from Germany where he had seen Socialism as a mighty power already in control of more than one-third of the country, dreaded by the Catholic hierarchy because, though the Social Democrats now worked with the Catholics, they drew millions from the Church, dreaded by imperialists, militarists, industrialists, and landowners.

For all practical purposes, Eugenio Pacelli remained the Vatican's chief foreign policy maker from that date until his death in 1958.[25] For much of his own reign he was ably assisted by Cardinal Maglione and Cardinal Montini (Pope Paul VI), the latter in the capacity of Undersecretary of State.
Pacelli was the live spirit which stood behind all the anti-German activities of Rome's policy.
Cardinal Pacelli was then on a 16,000-mile tour of the United States.[81] According to Vatican sources, the Cardinal discussed with the President the threat of Nazism to Europe.

The problem is that the campaign against Pacelli is a defamation.
Pacelli had read Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” as early as 1925 and told fellow diplomats that Hitler was “obsessed” and a “new manifestation” of the Anti-Christ.
Following the encyclical, on Jan. 9, 1939, Pacelli told the world’s archbishops that their governments should accept Jews trying to escape Germany, and the next day sent the same order to the American cardinals.

This devastating account of the ecclesiastical career of Eugenio Pacelli (1876-1958), who became Pope Pius XII in 1939, is all the more powerful because British historian John Cornwell maintains throughout a measured though strongly critical tone.
He meticulously builds his case for the painful conclusion that "Pacelli's failure to respond to the enormity of the Holocaust was more than a personal failure, it was a failure of the papal office itself and the prevailing culture of Catholicism." --Wendy Smith --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Pacelli's entire life was directed toward becoming the pope, he was not willing to sacrifice his worldly accomplishment and success to try to save Jews who he believed were not worthy of being saved.

If Cornwell's charges — that Pacelli played a strategic role in clearing the path for Hitler's rise to power and, as Pope, was not only indifferent to Hitler's Final Solution but compliant with it — are true, Hitler's Pope greatly changes the history of World War II as we know it.
In Hitler’s Pope, backed by a wealth of new research, John Cornwell tells for the first time the story of the career of Eugenio Pacelli, the man who as Pius XII was Pope during the Second World War and arguably the most powerful churchman in modern history.
In 1933 Hitler became this perfect negotiating and a concordat was established that granted religious and educational advantages to the Catholic Church in exchange for Catholic withdrawal from social and political action.

The book, which presents evidence that Pacelli collaborated extensively with the Nazis, spent five weeks on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list and created a storm of controversy, both within and outside the Catholic world.
Cornwell soon became convinced, however, of Eugenio Paella's personal sympathy for Hitler, his admiration of fascist ideologies, and his deep antipathy toward the Jews.
Indeed, Cornwell argues that Pacelli, in his capacity as the Vatican's Secretary of State, and as Papal Nuncio in both Munich and Berlin, contributed directly to Hitler's rise to power.
