Fr. O'Flaherty is one of the reasons I joined the Catholic church as a convert. I have been so happy in our wonderful Church. My husband and daughter converted as well. Fr. O'Flaherty's story is so wonderful! It sure was nice to see all of his relatives in the story of his life.
The church did a lot. She remains humbled and silent as always. we would never know unless someone tells us the mighty stories. thanks for sharing this. Are there books that tell us how the church saves the Jews?

As a Catholic convert who grew up in the communist China, I am extremely blessed to be surrounded by so many Irish brothers, sisters and priests in the US. God bless Ireland and all Irish people🙏
It's a wonderful movie. Gregory Peck played Mons. O'Flaharty, and Christopher Plummer played Col. Keppler. The score for the movie was done by Ennio Marcione, and is quite memorable. I have had this movie on DVD and before that on VHS, so it is watched a couple of times a year in this house.
@bengoolie5197 Of course, he was pope Pius XII himself, during Mons. O'Flaherty ministry. Watch the mentioned movie, it's a well done dramatization. (PS: Even non Catholics admired it in the comments.)
Eugenio Pacelli was pope pius 12th. According to Vatican documents released in 2020/2021 he and his predessor pope pius 11th were Nazi sympathisers until 1943, when they realised that the Allies would win the war. If you wish to praise a Pope who rescued people from the Nazis then praise Angelo Roncalli ie Pope John 23rd.
If you read the latest Vatican documents Pacelli supported the Nazis till 1943 when it was clear that the Allies would win WW2. And who was his closest advisor? Bishop Montini, later Pope Paul 6th. If you want to honour Catholics, like I do, who saved Jews and others from the Nazi Gas Chambers, honour men like O'Flaherty, Maximillian Kolbe, and Angelo Roncalli, the future Pope John 23rd.
Hitler probably was. But then Gabriel Amorth, chief Vatican exorcist, said Stalin was also possessed. But Christ told the Pharisees that Satan's kingdom could not be divided against itself. However, Hitler attacked Stalin.
@@AndyYoung789 The lesser devils are terrified of Satan, meaning he was not nice to his own followers. Perhaps Stalin's demon was of a slightly lower rank?
@@carlosfasano800 the concordat was signed during the pontificate of Pope Pius XI. That Pope later wrote an encyclical condemning the nazi regime, Mit Brenender Sorge.
An inspiring story of understated courage and unwavering faith shown by Fr Hugh O' Flaherty, and the many others, who risked the constant threat of torture and death, all through the German occupation of Italy during WW2. Any criticism of the Catholic Church's reluctance to condemn the Natzi Tyrany should stop and consider the consequences to the many Jews who owed their lives to The Vatican during that terrible time. If Pope Pius X11 had spoken out openly against the Natzi regime, then that would have immediately put the Vatican under greater suspicion and would have made any rescue and shelter of Jewish men women and children almost impossible. The fact that Fr O'Flaherty could forgive and befriend the Natzi officer, who would have had him put to death in the blink of an eye, is astonishing. But that is the very quality that made him a good priest.
MSM? MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a chemical in animals, humans, and many plants. People use it most often to try to treat arthritis. MSM can be produced in a lab, where it is sometimes combined with other supplements such as glucosamine or chondroitin.

@@avantibev7759 If you call yourself "Christian," the Christ you probably worship is a false God, not the REAL Christ. You take the Gospel teachings and throw them out the window. If you call yourself a "Jew," you select only those portions of the Hebrew Scripture that justify your mental illness and ignore the rest. There is NO civilized justification for this genocide.
Why? A story of bravery and courage during a time of war and persecution? You don't see the reason to use this as a way to act now? Perhaps EWTN does not need your support. Still, God bless you and give you a change of heart. You do need one.
There is a lot to solving and issue. And this is one of them. Be grateful for someone like Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty because it is about saving those who are innocent. They had to Learn that there are good people out there. The Jews needed to know Jesus Christ in the form of Fr.I O’Flaherty. It was a good thing that he did. The Jews did not know Jesus back when He was alive. So this gave the Jews some time to repent and be sorry for their sins and be forgiven. 🙏❤️🌈🎶🌎☮️
Yes, our country is amok with consumer capitalism, idolatry of entertainers, celebrities, athletes, politicians and private agendas, millions cheering on scripted violence every evening, clutching cell phones, demonizing the suffering and needy, and EWTN dishes out its daily dose of devotionalism, clericalism, traditionalism, fundamentalism, pietism…….
Agreed. The perpetual victims are currently dismantling society by infiltrating every institution whilst completely destroying Gaza. Tired of hearing about WW2 as though it's the worst travesty in human history. Meanwhile, they spit on nuns in the Holy Land.
It’s called “History.” Didn’t you ever try it in school? It’s certainly a relief from the media preference of sexual scandals, or the lie that Pope Pius XII remained “silent” during the Holocaust.

Thanks for acknowledging both my Irish heritage and Mr. O'Flaherty the Irish Schindler ❤
He continues to inspire us, offering hope.
A great priest indeed. We need more and more such priests.

A movie was made about this story. It is called The Scarlet and the Black with Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer.
Love that movie!

I recall another priest who saved some 860,000 Jewish lives. His name was Eugenio Pacelli.

Pope Pius XII thought Hitler was possessed by the devil. Every day he tried to do a long distance exorcism.
