Pope Pius XII. A/k/a "Hitler's Pope."

Pope Frank says the process stalled because the Catholic Church "couldn't find a miracle."



Then they aren't looking very hard. I'll give you a miracle, Frank.

He spent many years, including part of his tenure as Pope, being blind, deaf and mute. That's the only possible explanation. Because even though he was Papal Nuncio to Germany when Hitler took over, and signed the first international recognition of the Nazi State...well, after 1945, he never HEARD of the Nazis. Or Hitler. Or the guy who created the fiction of the Vatican as a state - that really militant atheist Benito Mussolini.
