Quote:
Continually apprehensive of schisms within the Church, Pius strove to maintain the allegiance of Catholics in Germany, in Poland, and elsewhere. Fearful too of threats from the outside, the Pope dared not confront the Nazis or the Italian Fascists directly.


Sid, show me in the Bible where Jesus directly confronted the errors of the Roman government when He walked this earth. The Church must exist under all forms of government...whether we like it or not.

God bless you
"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. ~St. Augustine
