Hitler's Pope gets Humble Pie
The Economist is reporting that John Cornwell, author of the infamous Hitler's Pope, has backpedaled on many of his charges. Cornwell now admits that his biography 'lacked balance': "I would now argue," he says, "in the light of the debates and evidence following 'Hitler's Pope', that Pius XII had so little scope of action that it is impossible to judge the motives for his silence during the war, while Rome was under the heel of Mussolini and later occupied by the Germans."
