  •  OCTOBER:    At about this time (Autumn, 1912), Monsignor Eugenio Pacelli of Vatican City is appointed as a consultore or adviser to the Holy Office-this is an indication that his views and personal conduct have been found to be completely orthodox and acceptable to the upper hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church.   (Source:  Hitler's Pope  The Secret History of Pius XII  by John Cornwell Penguin Books ((paperback)) 2000, pg. 48).

  •  (NO SPECIFIC DATE)    At some time during this year in Europe, in yet another sign of his favored status among the Roman Catholic Church's curial hierarchy, Eugenio Pacelli is asked to make another trip  to England. This time he travels with Gennaro Cardinal Pignatelli di Belmonte, to attend the coronation of King George V. While on this visit, Pacelli attends the Spithead Review of the Royal Navy, and he will later, as Pope Pius XII, tell of the Review to private audiences of English pilgrims.    (Source:  Hitler's Pope  The Secret History of Pius XII  by John Cornwell Penguin Books ((paperback)) 2000, pg. 48).

  • (NO SPECIFIC DATE):    Also at some time during this year Serbia is successful in what is called the First Balkan War against Turkey. Serbia then expands its territory to include parts of Macedonia, Epirus and northern Albania. With this expansion comes an increase in the number of Catholics now included in "greater Serbia". The number jumps from about seven thousand up to forty thousand, and the Serbian rulers, mostly of Orthodox religion themselves, see an advantage in being on good terms with them.  (Source:  Hitler's Pope  The Secret History of Pius XII  by John Cornwell Penguin Books ((paperback)) 2000, pg. 49).

  • (NO SPECIFIC DATE):    At some time during this year in Germany, the Catholic Center Party loses its dominant position in  the German Reichstag in the Parliamentary elections held this year. The new majority party is the Social Democrats.  (SOURCE:  Hitler's Pope  The Secret History of Pius XII  by John Cornwell Penguin Books ((paperback)) 2000, pg. 81).
