The documentation undercuts the Holy See’s argument that it couldn’t verify diplomatic reports of #Nazi #atrocities to denounce them. #CatholicChurch continues to lie for 80+ years https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/09/17/letter-uncovered-showing-pope-pius-xii-had-detailed-information-about-nazi-crimes
