Title: Dishonest
Product review: This alleged work of history rests on a series of distortions clearly fueled by anti-Catholic prejudice.A glaring example is the author's use of an alleged quote by John XXIII. According to the author, John XXIII said in response to criticism of Pius XII's alleged "silence" during World War II: "What can you say about the truth?"In fact, John XXIII never said such a thing and the author clearly knows it. In an earlier work Carroll cites this fictional quote as a fabrication. As Carrol knows (but nowhere tells the reader), John XXIII repeatedly said that his own actions in rescuing Jews (when he was Vatican ambassador to Turkey in WWII) was done with the express permission and encouragement. John XXIII strongly supported the canonization of John XXIII on such grounds.The book is full of such fabrications.How can anyone take this ... seriously?
