Cloth over boards. x, [2], 292 p. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Peter Eisner is an award-winning author and journalist, formerly with the Washington Post, Newsday and the Associated Press. Peter Eisner tells a timely history about how religious leaders acted when faced with worldly decisions. On June 25nd 1938, Pope Pius XI enlisted American Jesuit John LaFarge to draft a declaration condemning Nazism and anti-Semitism in the form of a papal encyclical− one of the highest public statements employed by the Holy See− in an attempt to rally world leaders to stop Hitler, Mussolini, and the Nazi onslaught before the start of an impending European war. Pope Pius XI s campaign to stop Hitler was halted by his own death in 1939, at which time Cardinal Pacelli was ordained Pope Pius XII."
