Nazi Party called Pope Pius XII a “pro-Jewish pope.”

Just saw this text about Pope Pius XII. There has be a lot of debate about his supposed silence. That did not stop Goebbels publishing a pamphlet calling him a pro-Jewish pope.

Joseph Goebbels ordered the Nazi Party Department for Public Enlightenment to publish 10 million copies of a pamphlet for distribution in Europe and Latin America, condemning the Vatican’s attempt to protect Jews. The pamphlet said that 18 popes since the twelfth century had promoted policies similar to that of the Nazi Party, but only Pope Pius XII had intervened on behalf of the Jews, and much of the Catholic world would turn against the “pro-Jewish pope.” Presumably in response, the Boston Pilot quoted Pope Gregory the Great: “We forbid you to molest the Jews or to lay upon them restrictions not imposed by the established laws; we further permit them to live as Romans and to dispose of their property as they will.

Also about Bishop Felix Roeder of Beauvais

When words failed, Bishop Felix Roeder of Beauvais chose another course. German officials had ordered the Jews of Beauvais to register at the municipal headquarters. On the strength of his claim to have had a distant Jewish ancestor, the bishop formally processed through the streets to register his own name, wearing full pontifical vestments, and preceded by an acolyte carrying the cross.
