Overview
- Summary
- This book opens with eye-witness accounts of two historic events which took place in Rome in July, 1921 -- Benedict XV's last consistory (at which Msgr. Achille Ratti, the future Pope Pius XI, was made Cardinal) and Benito Mussolini's political debut; it ends in April 1954 with a message of Easter hope. In the 33 years between these dates, Anne O'Hare McCormick wrote this history of three decades of growing Papal prestige through her interviews, reports and articles filed with the New York Times from Rome, from Vatican City and from other world capitals.
