AB During all his life Pius XII payed a special attention to his writings, in particular the speeches, the most personal side of the papal teaching. The assistants hold those papers in sacred veneration, but the documents later suffered heavy damages and losses, so that there is no draft of some of the most famous speeches. This is the case of the 1942 Christmas Radio Address, known for the allusion to anti-Jewish persecutions: in the past this speech was confused with the draft of the 1942 Christmas Allocution to the Sacred College, but the two documents are very different. Now, after the opening of Holy See’s archives for the pontificate of Pius XII, we found one final draft of this Radio Address, recording the latest adjustments by Pope Pacelli: a witness of the difficult drafting of some lines, in particular those concerning persecutions.
