Pius XI in the European Crisis | Pius XI. Im Kontext der Europäischen Krise: Acts of the Interview of Villa Vigoni, 4-6 May 2015 | Beiträge Zum Villa Vigoni - Gespräch, 4. -6. Never 2015

di Perin, Raffaella

This scholarly volume examines the pontificate of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) within the context of European crises during the interwar period. It compiles contributions from historians and researchers who analyze the Catholic Church's responses to authoritarian regimes, totalitarianism, and social upheavals, including issues such as anti-Semitism, nationalism, and political violence. The book stems from a colloquium held at Villa Vigoni in 2015, emphasizing the interplay between national and global dynamics and the Vatican's role in shaping European and global history. The essays also explore the historiographical impact of newly accessible Vatican archival materials.
