The Vatican Radio in Wartime
the Vatican Radio, broadcasting on July 29, 1940, in Italian for Italy, made the following clear and important statement:
“The Holy See has declared in the Lateran Treaty that it will take a neutral attitude toward the territorial problems of the nations and not interfere unless all interested parties, by common accord, make an appeal to the Pope to mediate for peace, in his capacity of a moral and spiritual power . . . To speak with the necessary competence one must know all the facts, and that is not possible under the present circumstances. As far as acts of inhumanity are concerned, the Pope has often, and clearly, raised his voice.”
