"It hurts to go to the Yad Vashem and see Pius XII presented like that states mgr. Franco , and this is what I wrote in my letter. Perhaps the photo could be removed or the caption could be changed. But the Pope cannot certainly be put amidst men that should be ashamed at what they made against the Jews. Pius XII should not be ashamed at all that he did for the salvation of the Jews, which is highlighted by the historical sources". "My letter, which follows up on a similar one I had written last year, asked them to take care of this issue. However I would like to make clear that my not being at the ceremony does not mean I am disrespectful of the memory and the victims of this tragedy. This is out of the question. In reading the papers today concludes the Nuncio , I refuse point-blank to say the Catholic Church and the Holy See have any responsibility for not helping out the Jews, with all they did. That photo offends all of the Catholic Church. And that’s what I wanted to make clear".
