David Kertzer Speaks at Temple B'nai Abraham in Livingston, NJ on April 28, 2024 #316467659
Description
Historian David Kertzer speaks about his recently released book, "The Pope at War," about the controversial Roman Catholic Pontiff, Pius 12th. Pope Pius 12th detractors call him "Hitler's Pope," for his appeasement of the Nazis in World War II, while his adherents claim the pope had no choice and averted a major schism and damage for the church, even urging a path for his sainthood. Kertzer was one of a select few historians who was granted access to secret Vatican documents by the current Pope Francis. According to Kertzer, a Pulitzer Prize winner, "The myth that the pope couldn't do anything was a myth." The scholar is a professor emeritus at Brown University.
