William Doino, who with Ronald Rychlak wrote Pius XII and the Distorting Ellipsis for us, made a striking point in a message about the need to stand up not just for the pope for for others so slandered:
There is a line in the fine film, A Cry in the Dark (Meryl Streep), about a woman falsely accused of a terrible crime. After she is finally vindicated, her husband says: “I don’t think enough people realize how important innocence is to innocent people.” That’s what is at stake here—truth, integrity and personal honor; what could be more important?
