John O. (buzzby) - , reviewed on 7/23/2014 + 6062 more book reviews

Cover picture was taken in 1927, so don't assume too much from the "Nazi" helmet, it obviously pre-dates the Nazis coming to power. He doesn't have to much good to day about Pacelli, he sounds like Pacelli was a classic case of a man who outlived his time. Pacelli's life work revolved around renegotiating the logical result of the infallablilty doctrine after 1870 and the appointment of bishops in the post-monarchical world, both which tended to centralize authority with the pope.
