| Sumario: | The rise of the papacy to power in the international arena, from its doldrum days soon after the French Revolution and especially in the wake of World War I, is the theme of Giuliana Chamedes’s indispensable study. The key figure is Eugenio Pacelli, a major actor in the Vatican diplomatic corps by the early 1920s. Such was Pacelli’s success that by 1939 he had ascended to the papacy as Pope Pius XII, where he ruled, dourly, until his death in 1958.The collapse of empires was the hallmark transformation generated by the Great War. There was an ideological and institutional vacuum to be filled. The Vatican harbored suspicions about the ambitious Americans and (so it thought) secular, anticlerical forces like the League of Nations. Rome felt that all such movements and organizations were tainted with an insidious liberalism with roots in the village atheist quarrels and strident republicanism of the nineteenth century. Wittingly or otherwise, efforts to make the world safe for democracy opened the way to socialism, communism, neopaganism, and an overall erosion of faith—to the demise of Western civilization as traditional Catholicism construed it. |
