Упр.5 Юнит 2 Урок 4 ГДЗ English Кузовлев 10-11 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Кузовлев 10-11 класс, Просвещение: 5. The Pope is a cleric (духовное лицо) and a politician because he is the head of the Roman Catholic Church and the head of a tiny state, the Vatican. Here is an article from the Newsweek magazine about the wartime Pope. 1) What war do they mean in the article? Find all the facts that can prove your answer. World War I World War II a civil war Many historians think that the wartime Pope didn’t try to stop the Holocaust (истребление, бойня). By Kenneth L. Woodward The voice of Pius Xll is a lonely voice in the silence and darkness. He is the only ruler on the Continent of Europe who dares (смеет) to raise his voice at all. Editorial, The New York Times, Dec. 25, 1941 Something shameful (постыдный) is going on. That Pius Xll was silent in the face of the Holocaust; that he was in fact pro-German if not pro-Nazi. It was The Deputy, Rolf Hochhuth’s 1963 play that created an image of Pius as a coward (трус). In fact, Pius Xll was neither silent nor inactive. In 1937 in a special document Pope Pius Xll condemned (осудил) Nazism as un-Christian. The document was secretly brought to Germany and read in the Roman Catholic churches. In his 1942 Christmas message the Pope became the first person of international stature to condemn the Holocaust. The Nazis understood the Pope too well. “His speech is one long attack on everything we stand for,” declared the Gestapo. In February 1942, Protestant and Catholic leaders in Holland occupied by the Nazis condemned death camps. But only Catholic bishops (епископы) read the letter aloud in their churches. The Pope’s crime — if there is one — is that he chose the role of diplomatic peacemaker rather than martyr (мученик). Historian Christopher Browning is right to say that “the Holocaust is a story with many victims (жертвы) and not too many heroes. I think we are naive if we think one more hero could stop it.” 2) What kind of politician was the wartime Pope? 3) What did the Pope do in the face of the Holocaust? 4) Do you think that a cleric should be involved in politics? Why? *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
Ответ
The article means World War II. Facts that prove it:
- it mentions Nazism and the Nazis;
- there is a reference to the Holocaust and death camps;
- the text says that in 1941 and 1942 the Pope made statements;
- it speaks about occupied Holland and the Gestapo.
The wartime Pope was a diplomatic peacemaker. He was not a coward or an inactive politician.
He condemned Nazism in 1937, and in his 1942 Christmas message he became the first person of international stature to condemn the Holocaust.
Yes, I think a cleric can be involved in politics, because a religious leader can defend people, speak against injustice and try to stop violence. But he should do it carefully and peacefully.
