text: Thank you for mentioning Elie Wiesel a great admirer myself: 
  It brought to mind the  story of a Holocaust survivor, searching for identity. He was baptised a Catholic to be  embraced into  the bosom of Christ [the saving of his life only secondary so it appeared to me]. 
  Now a nineteen year old in 1948, the words of  priests  in print in the daily press, many were mortified to hear of confessions of parishioners, Christian enough to give charity to the pigeons in the Piaza: "Father, I have sinned but not intentionally.  I gave bread to a beggar who turned out to be a Jew. I only found out after wards."  The author making the verbal observation. "These confessions must have come from good people, who had not been made aware of the subtle changed attitude  to Jews by the Holy See"..........
  NB.
  Reading history, The Holy See was against the UN declaration they given their own homeland of  Israel in 1948 and  not acknowledged  until 1993 when diplomatic relations were established.
  How sad
