The pope and cardinals framed the threat of evangelical Christianity as a peril not only to the Catholic Church but to the fascist government as well, recruiting some very powerful fascist officials to their cause.   This important book is the first full account of this dangerous alliance.Protestant churchesRelationsCatholic ChurchFascism and the Catholic ChurchItalyProtestant churchesRelationsCatholic Church.Fascism and the Catholic Church280.042Madigan Kevin1960-1560263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795632203321The Popes against the Protestants3826106UNINA
