June: So, as articulated prior, the riddle as regards the Vatican beatification endeavors is as follows?
Why would the Vatican press for the beatification of Pius XII [Pacelli], to the Jews the poster boy of callous indifference, who maneuvers at all costs not to jeopardize Vatican temporal interests, and not first press for the beatification of his predecessor, Pius XI [Ratti] a valorous and universally acclaimed scholar and heroic statesman, who actually frontally challenged the pre–war Nazis and their racist ideology?
Why would the Vatican skip over–
a bona fide heroic figure?
a practical idealist?
an individual who exemplified all that the Church
might have been?
