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. 606 $aProtestant churches$xRelations$xCatholic Church 606 $aFascism and the Catholic Church$zItaly 615 0$aProtestant churches$xRelations$xCatholic Church. 615 0$aFascism and the Catholic Church 676 $a280.042 700 $aMadigan$b Kevin$f1960-$01677899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810614603321 996 $aThe Popes against the Protestants$94045153 997 $aUNINA
