That was on the header. I also, seem, to have a lapse of 24 hours before
a response. I thought it was because Australia is ahead of Europe and
USA?

Perhaps, the Jewish people believed he was trying to assist them. I would
imagine the only surviving Italian Jew, who was found amongst the dead
bodies, would have no reason to lie. It was the Jesuits that said, give me
your son at 7 and I will turn him into anything you want. So they have
centuries of clever and subtle manipulation. I guess I dont know the
truth,
but my suspicions lie with the Papacy, HPB was ferocious on the subject,
and
I am sure, the notion that she also was a catholic propagandist, is
ridiculous to contemplate.
Everything seems corrupt about them, the voting system to elect a Pope.
(PJ23) changed the system prior to his death to ensure the right man got
the
job. And the death of his pre-decessor is shrouded in mystery. I have
other postings from the same sight which discuss the Concordat, and the
Christian Mafia if you are interested.

Reich Concordat
July 20, 1933
The Reich Concordat was an agreement signed between the Vatican and the
National Socialist government of Germany. The person primarily responsible
for the negotiation and signing of this document was the Cardinal
Secretary
of State, Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pope Pius XII with the agreement of
Pius XI. Pacelli was a firm believer in the unchallenged authority
of the Pope as the head of the Catholic Church. For this reason, he had
long
aimed to establish a formal agreement between the Vatican and Germany, and
impose upon the country's Catholic population the pope's authority. The
German Catholics were one of the most powerful, influential and wealthy
Catholic communities around the world. Pacelli wished to establish a power
relationship with the local clergy that would heavily favor the Vatican.
He
aimed to do so through the imposition of the Canon Code of Law, a
definition
of Church laws that was published and brought into force in 1917; this
interpretation of Church law
encouraged the supremacy and absolutism of the pontiff over the local
clergy.
The Concordat allowed the papacy to impose the new laws on the German
clergy, and gained special privileges for Catholic schools and
organizations. Pacelli also hoped that the agreement would safeguard
against
Nazi encroachments on and persecution of the German Catholic minority. In
exchange, the Vatican would 'encourage' the local Catholic clergy and
faithful to 'voluntarily' withdraw from politics, going as far as
disbanding
its powerful Catholic Center Party. This effectually destroyed any
political
opposition against the Nazis. This guarantee of nonintervention left
Hitler
and the Nazis free to pursue their anti-Semitic policies. Pacelli's
fear of Catholic persecution raises an interesting controversy. As one of
the most powerful and faithful communities in Germany, the Catholics
should
have had little to fear from the Nazis especially as early as 1933. The
matter is further complicated by the historic success of Catholic
resistance
against government persecution in
Germany such as that against Bismarck's Kulturkampf, arguably a more
systematic and powerful persecuting force than what the Nazis could have
been in 1933. The Kulturkampf or "culture struggle" was a policy
formulated
by Bismarck, partly as a reaction to the dogma of infallibility. Under
this
program, the entire Catholic community of Germany was systematically
persecuted, and much of the clergy and its work were submitted to state
interference. Even as late as 1942, the German Catholic community
was a powerful social force. The opposition of the Catholics to the Nazi
euthanasia program helped hasten its end and whatever was left had to
moved
underground. The organization and success of the Jesuits as the 'secret
army' of the Vatican was another aspect that was feared and greatly
admired
by the Nazis. Himmler went as far as to model the SS after the Jesuits and
believed them to be the most successful intelligence gathering
organization
in the world, and hence, one to be
greatly feared. Eventually, the reluctance of the Vatican to
encourage Catholic opposition against the Nazis and their policies served
as
a silent endorsement of their policies. The moral base for protest for the
Catholics was further compromised with the silence of Pius XII even when
the
terms of the Concordat were repeatedly violated by the Nazis. The
reticence
of the Pope in publicly denouncing Nazi anti-Semitism and his failure to
publish "The Lost Encyclical" of Pius XI are seen by at least
