In 1963, a controversial play was released by the German writer Rolf Hochhuth called "The Deputy", which popularised a theme of insinuating Pope Pius XII's "indifference" to Nazi Germany's mass killing of Jews during World War II. The play, offensive to the sensibilities of Catholics, led to a rebuff by Pius XII's former advisor Giovanni Montini, Archbishop of Milan. In addition to this, Oesterreicher, writing in "America", addressing the AJC and B'nai B'rith directly, urged them to speak out against the play. Before the start of the Second Session, John XIII died in June 1963, setting off the 1963 Papal conclave in the middle of the Council. Several years after the death of John XIII, a fraudulent "Prayer for the Jews" was published in "Commentary Magazine" (associated with the AJC), starting an urban legend that Roncalli had intended it to be read out before his death but that it was stopped by the Church. The author, one "F. E. Cartus", claimed that the prayer included the lines "We realize that the mark of Cain stands upon our foreheads. Across the centuries our brother Abel has lain in the blood we drew, or shed tears we caused by forgetting Your love" and "Forgive us the curse we falsely attached to their name as Jews. Forgive us for crucifying You a second time in the flesh." According to John M. Oesterreicher, one of the "periti" who worked under Cardinal Bea, this "prayer" was a complete fabrication by Malachi Martin, a Jesuit priest who lived a double-life and used a wide number of "pseudonyms". Giovanni Montini (who took the name Paul VI) emerged from the 1963 conclave as a continuity John XXIII candidate for the Council; the conservative elements in the Curia had backed Cardinal Ildebrando Antoniutti and the more radical liberal elements had proposed Cardinal Giacomo Lercaro, but settled on Montini on the suggestion of Cardinals Frings and Liénart. Montini confirmed that Cardinal Bea's mandate on addressing Judaism had been renewed.
