Today...The Other Holocaust

[PoliticalChic]

11. "[Pacelli], from 1914 ... was Secretary of the Department of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Holy See’s Secretariat of State. .... In this position he had prime access to all information on the Armenian genocide... Pacelli was involved in a diplomatic intervention to prevent further massacres after the Russian retreat from northeastern Turkey following the Brest-Litovsk treaty.

Indeed, all biographers of Pius XII agree that the wartime diplomacy of Pope Benedict XV served as a model for Pius XII’s actions during World War II, when the “Pope of Peace”served as his role model, especially in his stress on the Vatican’s “impartiality”....

Is this the lesson Eugenio Pacelli learned from the Vatican’s reaction on the Armenian genocide, the “Holocaust before the Holocaust”, as Elie Wiesel, survivor of the Shoah and 1996 Nobel Peace Prize winner, has called it? Was it “don’t speak out, don’t launch a public protest, it will only lead to greater suffering and worsen the situation for the Catholics and converts”?" MercatorNet What Pius XII learned from the other holocaust


What????/ ".... Vatican’s “impartiality”...." in the face of evil????

Silent about 20 million deaths in WWII??? Millions of Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, among others....?? Oversee a church structure rife with anti-Semites, who arranged the Ratlines, a system of escape routes for Nazis and other fascists fleeing Europe at the end of World War II. .....



Today we have an administration that does the same.....ignores religious-based slaughter identical to that of the Muslim Turks in 1915.

If Pope Pius XII has become known as "Hitler's Pope," then this President must be "ISIS's President."

"House Overwhelmingly Votes to Recognize Armenian Genocide, But Guess Who Voted 'Present'
The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to recognize the Ottoman Empire's killings of 1.5 million Armenians over a century ago as a genocide. The resolution passed 405-11, with three representatives voting 'present,' the most notable being Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

...the first time in 35 years that either chamber of Congress labeled as genocide the mass killings of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, which is now modern-day Turkey, between 1915 and 1923 . A similar House resolution passed in 1984.

Ilhan Omar's "logic was expressed in a tweet:

A true acknowledgement of historical crimes against humanity must include both the heinous genocides of the 20th century, along with earlier mass slaughters like the transatlantic slave trade and Native American genocide, which took the lives of hundreds of millions of indigenous people in this country.

Incidentally, whatever America did to African slaves and Natives in the past, it has at least since tried to make reparations to both—not to mention was part of the Western drive to abolish slavery altogether. This is much more than can be said about the Muslim world: it still persecutes its natives (Christians)—those exposed in Omar’s Somalia are instantly slaughtered—and was forced by Western powers to (formally) abolish slavery.


The Ottomans enslaved and brutally treated 10 million Europeans. According to the eyewitness testimony of Bartolomeo de Giano, hundreds of thousands of Christians from Hungary were “carried off in just a few days” sometime in 1438, to “serve their [masters’] wicked and filthy pleasures,” and/or to be forced into becoming “Saracens [Muslims] who will later be enemies of the Christians.” Young and old everywhere were seen being “led away in iron fetters tied to the backs of horses,” and “women and children were herded by dogs without any mercy or piety. If one of them slowed down, unable to walk further because of thirst or pain, O Good Jesus! she immediately ended her life there in torment, cut in half.”

This sort of thing continued for centuries—right up to (and therefore giving context to) the Armenian Genocide, which similarly saw “women and children … herded by dogs without any mercy,” not to mention raped and mutilated, during their death marches."
