| Summary: | In The Popes Against the Protestants, Kevin Madigan explores the complex relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and Benito Mussolini’s Fascist regime by discussing the activity of evangelical Christians in Italy. The work benefits from Madigan’s use of recently opened troves of documents located in the Vatican Archives. In 2019, Pope Francis changed the name of the Secret Vatican Archives to the Apostolic Vatican Archives although Madigan continues to use the former title. He also makes extensive use of the Jesuit Archives. The book tells "the story of the anti-Protestant campaign from the point of view of the Vatican" (p. 11). The Vatican’s point of view, however, does not mean an empathetic approach. "The anti-Protestant campaign," continues Madigan, "had produced an enormous volume of sound and fury, but in the end it had almost nothing to show for it, except, perhaps, a legacy of vicious and immoral suppression" (p. 16). |
