The director narrates the complicity of the Vatican and several countries of the world that tolerated the regime of the Germany Nazi and the extermination of Jews before and during the Second World war. The movie make us note some points that happened in the past that Church "made" and some other countries.
I think the principal idea of the movie is the silence of the political and intellectual authorities, and the resistance of more modest prominent figures, the film leaves many topics in the air, for example the case of the embasser of Sweden, which didn’t do anything for stopping the catastrophe, etc.
In general features, the film director details, the insistence of the official of the SS for stopping the holocaust.
He shows us that catholic church still knowing everything what was happening, it didn’t want to interfer, and the United States too.
I search on internet about this film and I found some articles about what the movie causes in France, the theatrical work and the review of the history forced to the catholic hierarchies to extract to the light a topic that they preferred not mention: the silence of the Vatican before the genocide Nazi. There they untied a campaign of the insult that the movie means for the today Catholics. The matter was solved before coming to the courts, with the payment of a sum to benefit of the Catholic help. A great effort of Gavras for managing to carry out a movie that was turning out to be expensive, but that had such an important message for him, so he needed to realize it.
I think the movie puts on judgment the nonchalance of all those that knew what was happening and they decided to kept silent.
What is the difference between Judaism and being Jewish?
Judaism is not only a religion; it is a way of life. Is the monotheistic religion of the Jews having its spiritual and ethical principles embodied chiefly in the Torah and in the Talmud , Are the cultural, religious, and social practices and beliefs of the Jews.
Judaism, the first and oldest of the three great monotheistic faiths, is the religion and way of life of the Jewish people. The basic laws and tenets of Judaism are derived from the Torah, the first five books of the Bible.
Jewish, having a Jewish mother is the only criteria for being Jewish (unless the person was converted correctly)!
What was the pope's position during world war II?
He maintained a public front of indifference and remained silent while German atrocities were committed. He refused pleas for help on the grounds of neutrality, while making statements condemning injustices in general. Privately, he sheltered a small number of Jews and spoke to a few select officials, encouraging them to help the Jews.
During the last forty years, however, many people, including some Catholics, have accused the Pope of “silence” and even of criminal negligence, saying he could have said and done much more to lessen the genocide that claimed millions of Jews.
What are the differences between and among Christian and Catholic?
Being Christian envolves all religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Mormon, etc, and Catholics is a specific religion. Catholics have various sources of authority: The Bible, Tradition, the Creeds, the Bishops, and the Pope, among others. Ultimately, Christ is our authority, but this authority has been passed from Christ to His Apostles. The Bible and Tradition come from the same Apostolic Deposit, and we do not pit them against each other.

very well organized and light on the eye...direct...to the point and a little beyond which makes me feel the writer cares and in doing so makes me more likely to believe what I read.
