The papacy of Pius XII (1939-1958) has been a source of
near-constant debate and criticism since his death over half a
century ago. Powerful myths have arisen around him, and central to
them is the dispute surrounding his alleged silence during the
years of the Holocaust. In this groundbreaking work, historian Paul
O'Shea examines the papacy as well as the little-studied pre-papal
life of Eugenio Pacelli in order to illuminate his policies,
actions, and statements during the war. Drawing carefully and
comprehensively on the historical record, O'Shea convincingly
demonstrates that Pius was neither an anti-Semitic villain nor a
"lamb without stain." Ultimately, Pius's legacy reveals the moral
crisis within many parts of the fractured Christian Commonwealth as
well as the personal culpability of Pacelli, the man and pope.
