A conspiracy within the Vatican--to stop an outspoken Pope
In 1938, Pope Pius XI was the world's most prominent critic of
the Nazi Party. To make his voice heard, Pius called upon an
American Jesuit, John LaFarge, to write a papal encyclical--the
Vatican's strongest decree--publicly condemning Hitler's murderous
campaign.
But conservative members in the Vatican like Cardinal -Eugenio
Pacelli toiled in secret to suppress the document from appearing.
Pacelli, who would become Pope Pius XII, colluded with -others to
keep the finished encyclical from reaching the increasingly-ill
Pope.
Peter Eisner, award-winning reporter and author of the
critically acclaimed The Freedom Line, reports shocking new
evidence (released only recently from Vatican archives) of this
deceit.
An astonishing tale of intrigue and sedition, The Pope's Last
Crusade is a compelling journey into the heart of the Vatican. A
truly essential work, it brings new light to one of the most
critical junctures in modern history.
