A controversial book first published in French In 1959 which argues that the Vatican’s political actions, particularly in the first half of the 20th century, were detrimental to European stability and democracy, suggesting that the Vatican influently sought to reshape Europe along its preferred lines. Paris posits that the Vatican had a ‘primordial role’ in events leading to the first and second world wars and aligned with Central powers and the Germanic world to counter liberalism, socialism and communism; some interpretations of Paris’s theories allege that the Catholic Church aided Mussolini and Hitler to take power, thus facilitating the rise of facism and nazisim, and assisted war criminals in evading the allied forces after the war.
