I am guessing that in the wake of the declaration of Pius XII as Venerable, there may be a few dust ups in the press. I am guessing there will be polls about this, too.
Keep an eye out for polls?
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

“Venerable” Pius XII. That sounds good.
There’s a poll on the New York Daily News.
Do you think the Pope was too quick to venerate Pius?
http://tinyurl.com/yjk3bsw
“Yes” is beating “NO”
50% to 42%
I just voted No. Poll is now 48% Yes and 44% No.
Title of the NY Daily News article in which the poll appears: “Pope Benedict XVI declares Pius XII ‘venerable,’ angering Jewish groups”
Of course the Pope was too quick to venerate Pius XII.
Just as Pius was too quick to accept the conversion of Rome’s Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Israel Zolli, who took Pacelli’s baptismal name as his own.
Just as Golda Meir, Pinchas Lapide, Albert Einstein, Elio Toaff, Bernard Baruch, and many other Jewish luminaries were too quick to praise and thank Pius XII.
Pio XII. Santo subito! Giovanni Paolo II. Che aspetti un po’.
Have just voted. It’s neck and neck at 46%.
voted too.
It is wonderful to see these fine men advancing toward being declared Saints!
I posted on the New York Daily News story HERE.
Post comments about that story and that poll there.
Keep us informed about other stories and other polls.
About.com has a poll. http://atheism.about.com/b/2008/07/24/daily-poll-vatican-behavior-during-world-war-ii.htm
Domini: Is that really a poll starting from “atheism”?
Fr. Z, yes! Apparently the athiests aren’t content with their own lack of faith, but are out to destroy those with faith.
Now, before anyone thinks I spend my time surfing athiesm sites, I found the poll by googling “Pope Pius XII Poll” and that was one of the results.
