This ambitious survey launches a major new five-volume series. It
explores the response of the papacy, one of the world's
longest-enduring institutions, to the multiplying challenges of the
modern age. It runs from the French Revolution to the fall of the
Soviet Union, ending with the pontificate of John Paul II, the
first non-Italian pope since 1522. Frank Coppa examines the impact
of major events like the Napoleonic conquests, Italian unification,
two World Wars and the Cold War; he explores the attitudes of the
papacy to such issues as liberalism, nationalism, fascism,
communism and the modern, secular age; he examines the growing
concern of the popes for the Catholic world beyond its traditional
European home; and he tackles, objectively and judiciously,
contentious topics like the "silence" of Pius XII. Engrossingly
readable, the book offers a fresh and invigorating perspective on
international relations across the past two centuries, and on the
political and ideological emergence of the modern world, as well as
its specifically papal concerns.
