Title: Of pathos and prejudice
Product review: Carroll's book is quite sad. He rummages through Church history, methodically magnifying apparently anti-Semitic statements and then suppressing the many pro-Semitic ones. Once you get to Pius XI, you hear nothing about Mit Brennder Sorge, the pope's detailed denunciation of Nazi anti-Semitism. During WW II, the New York Times carried numerous articles detailing the interventions of Pius XII against anti-Semitic measures in Germany, Rumania, Hungary, Italy, and France. But, of course, Carroll ignores them.For a more objective view of the issue, see the new work by Richard Rychlach.
