Présentation de l'éditeur

David I. Kertzer's The Popes Against the Jews claimed that one modern pope publicly referred to Jews as ""dogs,"" that two other popes called Judaism ""Satan's synagogue,"" and that another pope fostered priests who wanted to exterminate Jews. The book gained a wide audience and was translated into several languages in addition to English.

In Were the Popes Against the Jews? Justus George Lawler shows that these accusations are all false. But exposing them is only one aspect of his larger theme: the power of ideology to subvert history, whether exemplified by the treatment of the above popes, of Pius XII and Jews, or of Pius XI's ""co-dependent"" bond with Mussolini the vaunted subject of Kertzer's next book. Were the Popes Against the Jews? persuasively argues a case that deserves attention.
