The defamation of Pius XII
About this book
"In three chapters plus an introduction the book covers Pius's life up to his elevation to the Throne of Peter. Then, in a very long Chapter 4, McInerny covers the war years one by one, with four additional sections interspersed with these years that bring to mind what others were doing for the victims of the Holocaust at that time.
In Chapters 5 and 6, he presents a strong critique not only of the egregrious Rolf Hochhuth, whose play The Deputy was the origin of this defamation, but covers several modern critics, leaving his strongest words for the anti-Catholic Catholics that blossom wherever microphones can be found. He closes by tying this calumny to the real "culprit" (from the point of view of the critiques), the Catholic Church as the bulwark against the Culture of Death."--BOOK JACKET.
