Soldier of Christ - The Life of Pope Pius XII

Informationen zum Autor Robert A. Ventresca is Associate Professor of History at King's University College at the University of Western Ontario. Klappentext Soldier of Christ reveals a paradoxical figure: a prophetic reformer of limited vision whose leadership stimulated the emergence of a global Catholicism while sowing doubt and dissension among some of the church¿s most faithful servants.
