Fascinating account of the rise of Eugenio Pacelli to become Pope, and his reign thereafter. Though narratively focusing on Pacelli, the book is also an account of what can only be described as fascism or authoritarian rule within the Catholic Church, as well as the existence of anti-semitism within the Church. Extraordinarily researched and referenced, if at times a little too meticulously recounted. This corner of World War II world politics has rarely seen the light of day. Pacelli cannot be acquitted as he was, at best, willingly inactive when he could have made a difference, or a knowing collaborator with Hitler, at worst. The book certainly has ample evidence of Pacelli's own anti-semitism and fascistic notions with regard to Church rule. Given the length and breadth of his reign, this is necessary reading to understand modern Catholic politics.

It started with his childhood. Than goes into his work prior to becoming the pope. He reviews the choices people made that lead up to the Holocaust. What was their priorities. What did they not know or see. Than it goes into his failures as the Pope. He paints a very negative view of the Pope. ( )

Critique solide d'un homme qui a voulu sauver la chèvre et le chou. ( )

This is a well researched dissection of the diplomatic Career of Egenio Pacelli, who called himself Pius XII. The impression given is that Eugenio was no friend of the Jews. Cornwell's research seems to indicate that Eugenio made an arrangement with the Nazis in the 1930's and carried out his part, which was to keep the involvement of the Roman church as low key as possible when it might involve interfering with the Nazi solution to the Jewish problem. There's a lot of footnotes.
Current opinion, including the author's, holds that Pius was no so pro-Nazi, or anti-semitic as he wrote in this book. ( )

"All successes [Pacelli believed] could only be attained by papal diplomacy. The system of concordats led him and the Vatican to despise democracy and the parliamentary system...Rigid governments, rigid centralizations, and rigid treaties were supposed to introduce an era of stable order, an era of peace and quiet."

-Heinrich Bruning, German Chancellor 1930-1932


"Pius XII and the Jews...The whole thing is too sad and too serious for bitterness...a silence which is deeply and completely in complicity with all the focus which carry out oppression, injustice, aggression, explotation, war." -Thomas Merton
"The cause of the beatification and canonization of Pope Pius XII, who is rightly venerated by many millions of Catholics, will not be stoopped or delayed by the unjustifiable and calumnious attacks against this great and saintly man." -Father Peter Gumpel, S.J., relator in the cause of Pius XII's canonization
