World War II-era Vatican archives to be revealed

The Vatican announced on Monday it will open the secret archives of Pope Pius XII, a controversial World War II-era pontiff accused by some of turning a blind eye to the Holocaust.

In another pioneering move, Pope Francis told members of the Vatican Archives that the late pontiff's legacy will be revealed to the world on March 2 2020, Reuters reported. The date coincides with the election of Pope Pius in 1939 – just as the brutal six-year war was beginning.

"The Church is not afraid of history," said Pope Francis, adding that Pius' life has been treated with some "prejudice and exaggeration".

For decades the late pope was accused by some Jews of staying silent on the Holocaust.

Researchers and historians will be granted access to some of the documents between 1939 and 1958 in hope that more light will be shed on him and his role during the war.

“Archivists of the Vatican Secret Archives and their colleagues from other Vatican archives carried out patient work," Sergio Pagano, the Prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives, about the road to the unveiling of the documents.

Marine Le Pen to be prosecuted for anti-ISIS tweets

Prosecutors have called for French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen to be tried for tweeting pictures of atrocities committed by the Islamic State group, judicial sources said.

Le Pen shared the gruesome images in December 2015, a few weeks after ISIS jihadists killed 130 people in attacks in Paris – and after a French journalist drew a comparison between the jihadist group and her party. Her move sparked widespread condemnation in France.

One of the pictures showed the body of James Foley, an American journalist beheaded by the Sunni extremists. Another showed a man in an orange jumpsuit being run over by a tank and the third showed a Jordanian pilot being burned alive in a cage.

‘Daesh is this!’ Le Pen wrote in a caption, using an Arabic acronym for ISIS.

She is facing a possible three year jail term and a fine of 75,000 euro’s if an investigating magistrate decides a trial should take place for ‘circulating violent pictures liable to bee seen by children’.

Thomas Calls for Reconsideration of Landmark Libel Ruling

WASHINGTON — Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday called for the Supreme Court to reconsider New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 ruling interpreting the First Amendment to make it hard for public officials to prevail in libel suits.

He said the decision was the product of unprincipled “legal alchemy” that had no basis in the Constitution as understood by the people who drafted and ratified it.
