Softcover. Zustand: As New. This devastating account of the ecclesiastical career of Eugenio Pacelli (1876-1958), who became Pope Pius XII in 1939, is all the more powerful because British historian John Cornwell maintains throughout a measured though strongly critical tone. After World War II, murmurs of Pacelli's callous indifference to the plight of Europe's Jews began to be heard. A noted commentator on Catholic issues, Cornwell began research for this book believing that "if his full story were told, Pius XII's pontificate would be exonerated." Instead, he emerged from the Vatican archives in a state of "moral shock," concluding that Pacelli displayed anti-Semitic tendencies early on and that his drive to promote papal absolutism inexorably led him to collaboration with fascist leaders. Cornwell convincingly depicts Cardinal Secretary of State Pacelli pursuing Vatican diplomatic goals that crippled Germany's large Catholic political party, which might otherwise have stymied Hitler's worst excesses. The author's condemnation has special force because he portrays the admittedly eccentric Pacelli not as a monster but as a symptom of a historic wrong turn in the Catholic Church. He meticulously builds his case for the painful conclusion that "Pacelli's failure to respond to the enormity of the Holocaust was more than a personal failure, it was a failure of the papal office itself and the prevailing culture of Catholicism. …

Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiv, 426 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Sources. Notes. Select Bibliography. Index. John Cornwell (born 1940) is a British journalist, author, and academic. Since 1990 he has directed the Science and Human Dimension Project at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he is also, since 2009, Founder and Director of the Rustat Conferences. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He was nominated for the PEN/Ackerley Prize for best UK memoir 2007 and shortlisted Specialist Journalist of the Year, British Press Awards 2006. He won the Scientific and Medical Network Book of the Year Award for Hitler's Scientists, 2005; and received the Independent Television Authority-Tablet Award for contributions to religious journalism (1994). In 1982 he won the Gold Dagger Award Non-Fiction for Earth to Earth. He is best known for his investigative journalism; memoir; and his work in public understanding of science. Before his election to the papacy, Pope Pius XII served as papal nuncio to Germany, and Cardinal Secretary of State, in which capacity he worked to conclude treaties, most notably the Reichskonkordat with Nazi Germany. In Hitler's Pope, Cornwell accuses Pope Pius XII of assisting in the legitimization of the Nazi regime through the pursuit of a Reichskonkordat in 1933 and of remaining silent after information about the Holocaust was released to the public in late 1942 and early 1943. Owen Chadwick praised the book's scholarly approach and the abundance of new information Cornwell had managed to unearth. When the shocking story of Pope Pius XII that "redefined the history of the twentieth century" (The Washington Post ) was published, it sparked a firestorm of controversy both inside and outside the Catholic Church. Award- winning journalist Cornwell's overall thesis was that Pius XII, weakened the Catholic Church with his endorsement of Hitlerand sealed the fate of the Jews in Europe.…

Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. First printing; full number line. Moderate cover, corner wear. Pages fine, no writing. Classic black and red cover design w/photograph of his eminence flowing past guards and saluting soldiers. Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, has long been the subject of controversy over his failure to speak out against Hitler's war machine. In Hitler's Pope, award-winning journalist and Roman Catholic John Cornwell shows that, even well before the war, Pope Pius XII was instrumental in negotiating an accord that helped the Nazis rise to power - and sealed the fate of the Jews in Europe. Drawing upon secret Vatican and Jesuit archives to which he had exclusive access, Cornwell tells the full, tragic story of how narcissism, longstanding personal antipathy for the Jews, and political and spiritual ambition combined to make Pius the most dangerous churchman in history. A firm and final indictment of Pius XII's papacy, and a searing exploration of its lingering consequences for the Catholic church today. devastating account of the ecclesiastical career of Eugenio Pacelli (1876-1958), who became Pope Pius XII in 1939, is all the more powerful because British historian John Cornwell maintains throughout a measured though strongly critical tone.
