00:07.740 --> 00:09.540
20th of July, 1933.

00:10.040 --> 00:11.080
The signing of the agreement.

00:11.840 --> 00:16.220
Pacelli is at the center of the table,
surrounded by Monsignor Cahars,

00:16.560 --> 00:21.120
former president of the Centrum,
von Papen, and by Monsignors Pizzardo,

00:21.400 --> 00:22.940
Ottaviani and Montini.

00:43.770 --> 00:48.650
This tight hand with the Pope constitutes
a fact of immense and beneficial meaning.

00:49.290 --> 00:52.990
May God keep the Chancellor of the Reich
to our people.

01:33.350 --> 01:35.050
Hitler now stands firm.

01:51.850 --> 01:54.570
Why such a hurry in the agreements with
Hitler?

01:55.110 --> 01:59.210
Behind this sort of concordatory anxiety,
there is the urgency for the Church of

01:59.210 --> 02:04.050
Rome to also find a role, a centrality in
international politics.

02:05.150 --> 02:08.710
Piazza San Pietro is no longer one of the
crossroads of the world.

02:09.330 --> 02:14.570
Pacelli has understood this and becomes
the first great traveler of the modern

02:14.570 --> 02:14.710
Church.

02:28.660 --> 02:32.340
He marches to Genoa on what they call the
floating cathedral.

02:34.600 --> 02:39.620
On the walkway, two sunny and well-framed
sailors greet him romantically.

02:42.520 --> 02:46.160
In Argentina, he is welcomed as a head of
state or as a king.

03:29.390 --> 03:33.330
In Argentina, he is welcomed as a head of
state or as a king.

03:34.050 --> 03:39.050
He is the first interpreter of what they
will call the 14th planetarium.

03:41.190 --> 03:41.190
He

05:04.060 --> 05:07.580
has lunch with President Roosevelt in his
house.

05:59.590 --> 06:02.870
He is a requisitor against the idolatry of
the state.

06:03.870 --> 06:07.830
Even humanity, the communist daily,
applauds those words.

06:59.770 --> 07:02.170
Goebbels attacks him personally.

07:02.810 --> 07:05.370
He makes agreements with the French
socialists, he accuses.

07:09.610 --> 07:14.410
But Pacelli has only anticipated the
public conviction of the pontiff.

07:16.790 --> 07:22.890
March 14, 1937, Pio XI promulgates the
encyclical...

07:25.150 --> 07:32.090
The Encyclical denounces the German rulers
because, it is read, with repugnant pride,

07:32.390 --> 07:37.710
they stubbornly represent Christian unity
as a disguise and masculinity.

07:39.110 --> 07:41.010
This is the...

07:42.730 --> 07:45.930
Among the extensors, there is also Eugenio
Pacelli.

07:48.130 --> 07:50.230
The times of the Concordato seem very far
away.

07:50.230 --> 07:52.870
But only four years have passed.

07:54.290 --> 07:56.690
The reaction is violent.

07:57.690 --> 07:59.290
Goebbels announces on the radio.

08:00.030 --> 08:03.870
7,000 religious people are under trial for
sexual crimes.

08:04.930 --> 08:06.150
The clash is still rising.

08:07.210 --> 08:11.070
The Vatican recalls those prelates too
indulgent with the regime.

08:13.150 --> 08:17.990
March 12, 1938, the Reich annuls Austria.

08:25.390 --> 08:28.520
The Archbishop Theodor Innitzer proclaims.

08:29.250 --> 08:33.410
The priests and the faithful must support
the Führer without reservation.

08:33.970 --> 08:38.530
His fight against Bolshevism responds to
the signs of Providence.

08:40.760 --> 08:46.090
Pacelli summons Innitzer to Rome and gives
him an official note of harsh blasphemy.

08:47.090 --> 08:51.650
The relations between the Holy See and the
Third Reich are perhaps at their lowest

08:51.650 --> 08:52.090
point.

08:53.850 --> 08:59.510
May 3-8, 1938, Hitler is in Rome,
capital of the Empire.

09:03.620 --> 09:06.520
On May 2, the Roman observer writes.

09:07.140 --> 09:09.680
The Pope has left for Castel Gandolfo.

09:10.740 --> 09:12.180
He adds, not without irony.

09:12.780 --> 09:16.200
The air of the Roman castles is very good
for his health.

09:16.200 --> 09:17.980
Not only that.

09:18.060 --> 09:21.880
The newspaper does not make the slightest
mention of the visit of the head of the

09:21.880 --> 09:22.140
Reich.

09:22.740 --> 09:25.680
As if more than one-tenth of an order were
not enough.

09:26.560 --> 09:29.100
The Vatican museums must remain closed.

09:29.760 --> 09:32.240
For everyone, it is specified in the note.

09:32.920 --> 09:34.540
From Castel Gandolfo he accuses.

09:35.200 --> 09:39.940
In Rome, the sign of another cross has
been inaugurated, which is certainly not

09:39.940 --> 09:40.960
the cross of Christ.

09:55.450 --> 10:00.070
The German Catholics are not allowed to
participate in the Eucharistic Congress,

10:00.270 --> 10:02.810
which is held in Budapest on the same
days.

10:03.490 --> 10:06.930
The flying cardinal, Eugenio Pacelli,
is present.

10:07.630 --> 10:09.290
Still a crowd of people.
