		As a temporal ruler John was devoid of the vigour and firmness of his father, and his union of the papal officewhich through his scandalous private life he made a byword of reproachwith his civil dignities proved a source of weakness rather than of strength.
		Even before Otto left Rome the pope had, however, repented of his recognition of a power which threatened altogether to overshadow his authority, and had begun to conspire against the new emperor.
		An attempt at an insurrection was made by the inhabitants of Rome even before Otto left the city, and on his departure John returned at the head of a formidable company of friends and retainers, and caused Leo to seek safety in immediate flight.

	Defending Pope Pius XII by Alan Caruba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		For example, during the Nazi occupation of Rome, there is ample documentation that Pope Pius XII was personally responsible for saving the lives of close to five thousands Roman Jews, sheltering them in the Vatican and in the numerous monasteries and convents throughout the city.
		Pope Leo X (1513-1521) repealed the obligation of Jews to wear badges, a precursor to the Nazi requirement of the infamous Yellow Star.
		Pius XII and the late Pope John Paul II are great examples of those whom Jews identify as “righteous gentiles”; those who never failed to act and to speak out in the defense of Judaism and Jews.

		Without the Christmas messages of Pius XII during the war years, and particularly those of 1941 and 1942 and that of 1944 on democracy, without the same pope's profound reflections on the state, economic and social affairs, the encyclical Pacem in Terris would be scarcely thinkable.
		But John XXIII's encyclical was original and bold when compared with the corresponding attitude of Pius XII, for in the whole of Pius XII's vast output, there is not the slightest reference to the UN's 1948 Declaration of Human Rights.
