Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains two important documents from 1939. The first is the Encyclical Letter of Pope Pius XII, which was issued on October 20th of that year. This letter addressed the ongoing conflict in Europe, which would soon escalate into World War II. In it, the Pope called for peace and urged all nations to work towards a resolution of the crisis.The second document is the Address of the Marquess of Lothian, which was delivered on October 25th, just five days after the Pope's letter. The Marquess of Lothian was a prominent British politician and diplomat, and his address responded to the Pope's call for peace. He expressed his hope that the nations of Europe could come together to find a peaceful solution to the crisis, and he emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation.Together, these two documents provide a fascinating glimpse into the political and religious climate of Europe in 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II. They offer insights into the perspectives of both the Catholic Church and the British government at a pivotal moment in history.International Conciliation, No. 355, December, 1939.
