The Cambridge History of the Papacy
Throughout its history, the papacy has engaged with the world. Volume 1 addresses how the papacy became an institution, and how it distinguished itself from other powers, both secular and religious. Aptly titled 'The Two Swords,' it explores the papacy's navigation, negotiation, and re-negotiation, initially of its place and its role amid changing socio-political ideas and practices. Surviving and thriving in such environment naturally had an imp…
Alessandro Torlonia: The Pope’s banker
Corporatism and political Catholicism
Roger Griffin has famously defined the essence of inter-war European fascisms as 'a form of palingenetic, populist ultra-nationalism'. The origins of Catholic corporatist ideas are to be found in counter-revolutionary thought as it developed in Catholic circles in Austria in the mid to late nineteenth century. The critical milestone in the development of Catholic social theory and activism was the publication of Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum N…
Le gouvernement pontifical sous Pie XI. Pratiques romaines et gestion de l'universel, études réunies par Laura Pettinaroli: Rome, École Française de Rome, 2013
The opening of the papers of pope Pius XI (1922‐1939) in the Vatican Archives in 2006 inevitably provoked a veritable ‘explosion’ of conferences and studies of the pontificate of that pope – monographs, journal articles and edited collections. Some historians like Emma Fattorini with her book Pio XI, Mussolini e Hitler (Milan, 2007) and David I. Kertzer, The Pope and Mussolini : The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe (New…
Skinhead culture: The ideologies, mythologies, religions and conspiracy theories of racist skinheads
Groups of racist skinheads now constitute a significant element of the global radical right. The British youth subculture of the late 1960s has thus been transformed into a worldwide social movement, the violent cutting-edge of white supremacist resistance to multiculturalism. Pollard examines the historical development of the racist skinhead phenomenon and, in particular, analyses the origins, nature and development of the ideas that inspire it:…

A Cross too Heavy: Pope Pius XII and the Jews of Europe , O'Shea, P. (2011)
Every time I see another “Hitler's Pope” book I groan. There have been so many of them, for and against Pius XII, since the publication of John Cornwell's original Hitler's Pope: The Secret History
Pius XI's Promotion of the Italian Model of Catholic Action in the World-Wide Church
During his pontificate, Pius xi (1922–39) vigorously promoted the ‘export’ of the Italian model of Catholic Action to the rest of the Church as the organisational blueprint for Catholic lay activism, particularly in the battle against atheistic Communism. He was assisted by Mgr, later Cardinal, Giuseppe Pizzardo, the head of Italian Catholic Action. The successes and failures of this campaign are tracked through documents available since the open…

A state within a state: The role of the church in two Italian political transitions
This article analyses the parallels between the role played by the Church, first during the Crisis of the Liberal State in the early twentieth century and then during the transition from the Christian Democratic regime to the ‘bi-polar’ Second Republic more than 70 years later. It explores both the particular, contingent forces at work in each, and the underlying explanations as to why the Church was able to successfully exploit these two process…
Catholicism in Modern Italy: Religion, Society and Politics Since 1861
John Pollard's book surveys the relationship between Catholicism and the process of change in Italy from Unification to the present day. Central to the book is the complex set of relationships between traditional religion and the forces of change. In a broad sweep, Catholicism in Modern Italy looks at the cultural, social, political and economic aspects of the Catholic church and its relationship to the different experiences across Italy over thi…

The Fascist Experience in Italy

It spans from the emergence of the united Italian state in the nineteenth century, to the post-war aftermath of fascism.

The Pope, Labour, and the Tango: Work, Rest, and Play in the Thought and Action of Benedict XV (1914-22)
Ever since Leo XIII promulgated his encyclical Rerum novarum , ‘On the Conditions of the Working Classes’, in 1891, successive popes have added to the corpus of Catholic teaching on social/ labour questions. Pius X, for example, published an encyclical specifically addressing the vexed question of ‘interconfessional’ Christian trade unions in Germany, and Pius XI published no fewer than three encyclicals on social questions in the space of twelve…

The Vatican and the Wall Street Crash: Bernardino Nogara and Papal Finances in the Early 1930s
The signing of the Lateran Pacts between Mussolini and Pius XI not only changed the status of the Vatican, it also transformed its financial position overnight. After decades of financial difficulty, the Vatican acquired a substantial capital endowment, the investment of which the pope entrusted to Bernardino Nogara. But as the diary of Nogara reveals, as a result of the pope's ambitious spending plans, the lack of a proper system of financial co…

A New Site on Mount Lutraki
In a note at the end, of his preface to Perachora I (1940), Mr. T. J. Dunbabin mentions a new site which he had discovered on the summit of Mount Lutraki. I visited the site ( cf. Fig.) in July 1949 and found a good fragment of a sima lying among the débris on the small platform (Plate 6( a )) immediately S.W. of the summit. The platform measures barely six feet by four feet in its present state, but there is reason to suppose that it was formerl…
Delphica
One of the most arresting natural features at Delphi is the great rock pulpit which projects between the ruins of the Bouleuterion and the terrace walls supporting Apollo's temple (Plate 51 b ). It is rent on its southern side by a large fissure up which was hewn a flight of still discernible steps. The area in which it stands is of more than ordinary interest, as being identifiable with τὸ τᾶς Γᾶς ἱερρόν mentioned in a Delphic inscription dating…

The Vatican and Italian Fascism, 1929–32: A Study in Conflict
This is a study of relations between the Vatican and the Fascist regime in Italy in the most troubled and crucial phase of their relationship, the period 1929–32. It is the first time that any historian, either in Italy or elsewhere, has carried out a detailed and comprehensive study of the conflicts between the Vatican and Italian Fascism in these years; nor has there been any detailed analysis of the causes and the consequences of the crisis of…
