Pius XII: Silent? Coward? Evil Collaborator? Nay!

"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light!"
This quotation from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew applies--of course--to the Messiah, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. But the saints, who followed Christ heroically, are "smaller lights" that give off the light of Christ to their contemporaries.

Look what the New York Times had to say in the Year of our Lord 1941, on Christmas Day, during the initial stages of War World II:
"The voice of Pius XII is a lonely voice in the silence and darkness enveloping Europe this Christmas. He is about the only ruler left on the continent of Europe who dares to raise his voice at all."
Editorial, The New York Times, December 25, 1941
