Gary Krupp
As a politically aware Jewish teenager in Queens, New York in the 1960’s, Gary Krupp shared the prevailing negative opinion of Pope Pius XII, the controversial leader of the Roman Catholic Church during World War II. Today, he is proud to be one of the pope’s most vocal defenders in the Jewish community. He is determined to right an unjust historical distortion, especially considering how Pius XII has been treated since his death in 1958, by the very people he acted to save. According to tradition, the worst character flaw a Jew can have is that of ingratitude. The conspiracy against Pius XII must be exposed and the record corrected.
The World War II papacy is criticized for not acting to save Jewish lives during the horrors of the Holocaust. Gary Krupp’s work, Pope Pius XII and World War II: The Documented Truth, which is based on original documents from the period, reveals Pope Pius XII to be the courageous, compassionate hero he truly was.
Gary Krupp holds the distinction of being the only Jewish man in history to be invested as a Knights Commander of St. Gregory the Great (by Pope John Paul II) and subsequently honored with the Silver Star (by Pope Benedict XVI.) He has also been invested as an Officer Brother in the Order of St. John, an honor he received by consent of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2005.

I fervently hope that Deacon Sciolino, who is reaping the financial rewards from a public eager to read a Cathoic cleric’s condemnation of the Holy Father, will see fit to learn from this humble Jewish man who comes at this question with no axe to grind.
Oddly, a visit to Deacon Sciolino’s facebook page reveals none of the same concern for the Iraqi Christians that he has for European WWII Jews, and none of the scorn for our president’s lack of response to today’s situation that he holds for Pope Pius XII, who had no air power or army.
