ROME – Once again, the reputation of Pope Pius XII is under scrutiny and attack. Indeed, so searching are the questions and so inflamed are discussions about the Roman Catholic Church’s pontiff during World War II that the current pope, Benedict XVI, recently announced that he may postpone Pius’s beatification until the Vatican’s archives for the war years are opened and examined.
罗马-教皇皮亚斯十二世的声誉正再次受到责问和攻击。事实上，针对这位二战期间罗马天主教教皇而提出的问题是如此的尖锐，对其的讨论是如此的激烈，以致当前教皇本笃十六世最近宣布，他可能会把皮亚斯十二世的宣福礼推迟到梵蒂冈战争年代的档案开放供审查后举行。
