Keeper of the Keys: A Life of Pope Pius XII by Thomas McDermott is a comprehensive biography of one of the most controversial figures in modern Catholic history. Pope Pius XII served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1939 to 1958, a period that included World War II and the Holocaust. McDermott examines the life and career of Pius XII, from his early years as a diplomat to his eventual ascension to the papacy. The book explores the many controversies surrounding Pius XII's papacy, including his alleged silence during the Holocaust and his role in Vatican politics. McDermott also delves into Pius XII's personal life, including his relationships with family members and his struggles with illness. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with those who knew Pius XII, Keeper of the Keys offers a nuanced and thought-provoking portrait of a complex and often misunderstood figure.This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
