ROME - The Vatican plans to post selected documents from its World Conflict II secret archives online, according to a Catholic news office.

The plod came at the initiative of Pave the Way, a US-founded foundation that promotes interfaith dialogue and has striven to counter criticism that wartime Pope Pius XII ignored Jewish suffering throughout the Holocaust, Zenit news agency informed Friday.

Pave the Way offered to digitize some 5,125 descriptions and copies of documents from the closed section of the Vatican archives, from the period of March 1939 to May 1945, Zenit reported. These would then be posted on the Web sites of both the Vatican and Pave the Way.

Pave the Way head Gary Krupp told Zenit that the documents in question had been "previously released and mostly ignored," such as "the 'Actes et Documents du Saint Siège relatifs a la Seconde Guerre Mondiale [Acts and Documents of the Holy See relative to the Second World War]'" among1965 and 1981. Krupp told Zenit that the publication of these documents was "not meant to be a substitute for the full access" to the Vatican archives, "yet will absolutely display the unique efforts of Pope Pius XII and the dangers he was constrained to operate under a direct threat from the Nazi government."       Rate this article         Send big little Print       Most Talkbacked 'J'lem will be Palestinian capital'Abbas: Peace talks can’t start until Israel stops Jerusalem construction.Talkbacks (160)15/02/2010 10:33Oren heckled at US collegeProtester: "Propagating murder is not an expression of free speech!"
