Abstract

"The Pope at War: The Secret History of Pius XII, Mussolini, and Hitler" is a book that examines the controversial reign of Pope Pius XII during World War II. The author presents a detailed account of Pius XII's actions and decisions, suggesting that he prioritized the interests of the Roman Catholic Church over taking a strong stance against Nazi atrocities. The book discusses the pope's relationship with Hitler and Mussolini, his silence on the Holocaust, and instances of racism within the Vatican. It raises questions about Pius XII's missed opportunity to speak out against Nazi atrocities and the moral responsibility of the Roman Catholic Church. [Extracted from the article]
