I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean, either. Roosevelt certainly assumed the US would be in a war far more than two months before Pearl Harbor, and prepared to some extent on that assumption. It doesn't mean he wished for it.

Letters between Emperor Showa and Pope Pius XII shed light on Japan-Vatican ties | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
Quote:
[...]

Nihon University Professor Matsumoto Saho found the letters among documents declassified in 2020 in the Vatican Apostolic Archive. They consist of two letters from the pope and two replies from the emperor in 1952.

In a letter sent in October, the pope congratulates Japan for regaining its sovereignty and for the coming of age of the then-crown prince, who is now Emperor Emeritus Akihito. The San Francisco Peace Treaty took effect in April of that year, bringing an end to the postwar occupation of Japan.

Emperor Showa wrote in reply that the Imperial Family and the people of Japan would like to express their deep gratitude to the pope for his congratulatory message.

The Emperor is said have sought to establish ties with the Holy See two months before the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 that marked the start of the Pacific War.

The Imperial Household Agency learned records of Empress Kojun (1903-2000) will be completed in March 2025. The project began in April 2008 as a 12 year plan, collecting diaries of close aides, official documents from IHA and local governments related to visits domestic & foreign, documents from former Kuni-no-miya family, newspapers and magazines, etc.

Empress Kojun's chronicles or Veritable Records (Jitsuroku 実録) took longer due to delays in the compilation of the Emperor Showa Chronicles which began in 1990 (completed in 2014 with 2 extensions) and work to publish his chronicles for the public. The agency has earmarked about 5.62 million yen for editing costs in FY2024 general account budget request. Empress Kojun's Chronicles will be structured like Emperor Showa’s, a chronological list of events and is expected to be half the size of Emperor Showa's 61 volumes (~12,000 pages)

After the IHA delivers the book to the Emperor, it will make it an administrative document subject to information disclosure and will be able to view and copy it. Publication for the general public has not yet been decided, but the agency is considering making it available on its website.
