Former Chief Rabbi on Rome on Pope Pius XII

Cathcon translation of
Toaff verteidigt Pius XII.

The former chief rabbi of Rome sees the relations between the Vatican and Judaism as not in a crisis. "We are still on the right track," said Elio Toaff in an interview. The excitement around the reformulated Good Friday intercession in the old Rite can be judged in his view as unfounded.To quote Toaff : "Let us be serious. Everyone is free to pray, as he believes. I cannot understand certain polemics "Toaff also defended Pope Pius XII. He is to his mind no anti-Semite. Instead, he rescued many Jews from certain death. "
