Today the Vatican honours and celebrates
historical men and women who made a
comfortable home for themselves in the
Catholic Church as converts from Judaism.
They are sainted in memory for extraordinary
deeds of conviction and sacrifice in the name
of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, as pious
and devout, dedicated to reaching out in good
deeds as any born to the Church. This is the
Church whose pontiff met the Fuhrer of
the Third Reich's plan for extermination of
Europe's Jews with equanimity and inaction.
A pope who instructed his Vatican stalwarts
in their duty as Christians to forgive and in
charitable acts of mercy to apply their good
graces in sheltering and manipulating their
holy stations to impress upon the faithful
their obligation to protect and serve their
heavenly master by spiriting the monsters
of mass murder to safety from the desultory
searches for justice in the name of humanity.
