You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and I'm your host Thomas Smith.

All right, got a really cool episode for you today.

Tim O'Neill is going to be on to talk about the historical question of whether or not the Catholic Church and the Pope was

pro-Nazi.

And different shades of that too.

Well, was he pro-Nazi?

If not, did he, was he silent on the

silent on the question all those possible misconceptions I won't I guess no

spoilers but all those historical questions of just how pro-Nazi or neutral to anti-Nazi

Pope Pius the 12th was and the Catholic Church in general was. Really cool

episode especially if you're a fan of

something like hardcore history, which I'm a fan of. Tim takes us through all the

relevant questions, some backstory, a lot of cool stuff. I am, as I say multiple times. I'm terrible at history but I enjoy it so much.

So I really enjoyed speaking to Tim. He also stayed on for a bonus content. We did 30 minutes extra on specifically the Holocaust and

whether or not the Pope was silent on that, different than silent on Hitler

supportive of Hitler, slightly different question, related of course. But anyway, if you want to find that, it will be up

at patreon.com slash serious pod. So thanks to Tim for doing that. It was really cool and it's a cool benefit for patrons.

Just a quick little thing before we get to the interview.

I know last week in Thursday's episode I believe I mentioned Andrew over on opening arguments

and us talking about the executive order. Well you may have gotten the impression

from what I said and I certainly might have been under a misconception here, a misunderstanding that the three-judge panel

turned down the sort of the opportunity to lift the stay on Trump's executive order.
