Document. "Pope Pius XII and the Jews: The Real Conflict of Conscience Neglected by a Controversial Play" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy" and the role of the pope. ~ The article opens with a discussion of Hochhuth's view of the Catholic Church as a secular business, therefore he cannot penetrate the heart of the religious matter.
