The Unknown Pope
Benedict XV (1914-1922) and the Pursuit of Peace
Por JOHN POLLARD
Sinopsis
An in-depth and extensively researched biography of Pope Benedict XV.
Best known for his efforts to end World War I, Benedict XV was the first contemporary pope to assume the role of peacemaker, a role that has persisted in the papacy since.
Although Benedicts 1917 Peace Note was rejected by officials, he went on to help establish Save the Children and to lead European efforts at humanitarian aid. His brief pontificate resulted in a positive reassessment of the Churchs attitude towards colonialism and colonized peoples.
Using previously unpublished correspondence and private papers from the Vatican archives, John Pollard has written the first biography on Benedict XV in almost half a century.
