With profound respect and sincere devotion, We, the undersigned Catholics, humbly request that the cause for the beatification of Pope Pius XII proceed without delay. Pius XII's virtuous life speaks for itself and is supported by an abundance of incontestable documentary evidence. The truth regarding his service to the Church and the World, as a diplomat and during his pontificate, prior to and through the World War II period, is also historically established. He worked with great devotion for peace; condemned Nazism prior to and during hostilities; alleviated the sufferings and saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jewish and Christian war victims.
