The Popes against the Protestants
2021
Overview
An account of the alliance between the Catholic Church and
the Italian Fascist regime in their campaign against
Protestants Based on previously undisclosed archival
materials, this book tells the fascinating, untold, and troubling
story of an anti-Protestant campaign in Italy that lasted longer,
consumed more clerical energy and cultural space, and generated far
more literature than the war against Italy's Jewish population.
Because clerical leaders in Rome were seeking to build a new
Catholic world in the aftermath of the Great War, Protestants
embodied a special menace, and were seen as carriers of dangers
like heresy, secularism, modernity, and Americanism-as potent
threats to the Catholic precepts that were the true foundations of
Italian civilization, values, and culture. The pope and cardinals
framed the threat of evangelical Christianity as a peril not only
to the Catholic Church but to the fascist government as well,
recruiting some very powerful fascist officials to their cause.
This important book is the first full account of this dangerous
alliance.
