Tune Into 77WABC Sunday, March 21 at 8:00 p.m.

Englewood, N.J.—Tune into the Shmuley Show on 77WABC talk radio on Sunday, March 21 at 8:00 p.m. when Rabbi Shmuley will debate the potential canonization of Pope Pius XII with Gary Krupp. Krupp, one of seven Jewish papal knights in history was dubbed by Pope John Paul II in 2000. A Jewish man who resides in Long Island, Krupp was recently the subject of a New York Times article, (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/08/nyregion/08pius.html?scp=1&sq=gary%20krupp&st=cse). He admits to not being a historian however, after two years of research, including reviewing secret documents that have recently been released by the Vatican, he contends that there is evidence that shows Pope Pius helped the Jewish people. He sites evidence that Pius created an “underground railroad” for Jews to escape, that the pope successfully stopped the deportation of thousands of Jews out of Hungary, that he granted false baptismal papers for Jews to travel as Catholics and sent Jews to the U.S. via the Dominican Republic, amongst other items.

Watch for details about a live debate in May featuring Rabbi Shmuley, Gary Krupp and others.
