- Popes -- Biography
Explores the fatal effect of the Vatican's concord with Hitler and Pius XII's failure to condemn Hitler's attempt to exterminate the Jews. This offers a portrait of a man in highest power and authority who was mother-fixated, dominated by a German nun, Sister Pasqualina, who who was ultimately more liberal and anti-Nazi than the Pope himself.
