Although Christian democracy became increasingly influential in western Europe, the struggle to preserve the position and rights of the Church in the east was much more difficult. When east European governments, under Moscow's direction, began their offensive against the independence of the Church in 1948, the papacy found that it stood alone, with little assistance from the U.S. Kent offers a new assessment of Pius XII, extending the study of his career and papacy beyond the Second World War. He also examines the origins of the Cold War, the European perspective on American and Soviet policies, and the diplomatic role and influence of the Roman Catholic Church. 606 $aChristianity and politics$xCatholic Church$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunism and Christianity$xCatholic Church 606 $aPapacy$xHistory$y1929-1945 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aChristianity and politics$xCatholic Church$xHistory 615 0$aCommunism and Christianity$xCatholic Church. 615 0$aPapacy$xHistory 676 $a327.456/34 700 $aKent$b Peter C.$f1938-$01579645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783763903321 996 $aThe lonely Cold War of Pope Pius XII$93859869 997 $aUNINA
