: Vatican priest was Nazi spy, says CIA : By Bruce Johnston, in Rome : The Telegraph, UK : Monday, July 3, 2000 : An Irish priest credited with saving thousands of Jews : from the gas chambers may have been a spy in the Vatican : who told the Nazis that the Allies were about to land in : Italy. : The claim is made in CIA documents which the newspaper La : Repubblica says it has seen. It said that Mgr Hugh : O'Flaherty, who represented the Red Cross in Italy during : the Second World War, "was not the hero who saved Jews, : partisans and Allied prisoner, but a German spy". : The paper said that he told Field Marshal Kesselring, who : was in charge of Germany's presence in Italy, "the date : and the place of the Allied landing at Anzio" - although : his information proved to be inaccurate. : La Repubblica also said that Cardinal Ildefonso Schuster, : who was Archbishop of Milan, arranged for the transfer of : large sums of money from Rome to Milan on the Nazis' : behalf. The paper said that he could have been an : unwitting accomplice, but added: "The revelations come as : no surprise. The soft spot that he had for fascism has : long been documented." : La Repubblica said that the information from CIA archives : "will have repercussions within the Vatican", especially : following "the solemn and controversial beatification of : Schuster in the spring of 1966". The claim "is certain to : rekindle an old row concerning the relationship between : the Church and Nazi-fascism". : The Red Cross has been blamed in the past for helping to : issue bogus passports to Nazi criminals fleeing to South : America. Joaquin Navarro-Valls, the papal spokesman, : would not comment. Fr Pierre Blet, co-author of a : monumental Vatican collection of wartime documents, said : he knew nothing about it. : Click on The Telegraph link at News Plus : http://www.mantra.com/newsplus : Om Shanti : Not for commercial use.
