Popes, Cardinals, And War : The Military Church In Renaissance And Early Modern Europe

The Papacy, The Jews, And The Holocaust

  • The Papacy, The Jews, And The Holocaust
  • Attribution

    Frank J. Coppa
  • Publication Details

    Book, Catholic University of America Press, 2006
  • Description

    The present work transcends the thicket of controversy and provides a historical account of the relationship between the papacy and the Jews in the modern age, and the interaction between clerical anti-Judaism and secular anti-Semitism. Some have argued that Pius XII’s “silence” can only be understood in the context of centuries of Christian “disparagement” of Jews, seeing the differences between Christian anti-Judaism and Nazi anti-Semitism as one of degree not of kind, with both contributing to the Holocaust. Others have denied the Christian roots of anti-Semitism, noting the difference between clerical anti-Judaism, motivated by religious considerations, and modern anti-Semitism, based on a racial ideology.

    Pope John Paul II will go down in history not only as the third longest serving pope, but possibly the most politically influential of all 305 popes and antipopes since St. Peter.
