A Vatican Atlantic Alliance: Pius XII and the Role of US Papal Diplomats in the Cold War

Abstract

[Vorerst nur Titelei, Inhaltsverzeichnis und Abstracts] Die Kooperation zwischen dem Heiligen Stuhl und Washington zur Eindämmung des Kommunismus sowie die Übernahme karitativer Aufgaben und Fürsorge durch Priester und Bischöfe aus den Vereinigten Staaten führten dazu, dass diese am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs teilweise bedeutende Positionen in der päpstlichen Diplomatie einnahmen. Dazu gehörten Msgr. Walter S. Carroll im Staatssekretariat des Vatikans (1940–1950), Msgr. Aloisius Joseph Muench in Deutschland (1946–1959), Msgr. Joseph Patrick Hurley in Jugoslawien (1945–1950) und Rev. Edward J. Killion in Genf (1947–1953). In diesem Buch wird die Tätigkeit dieser Akteure während der Amtszeit von Pius XII. untersucht. Unter den Autoren finden sich Historiker, die sich bereits mit allgemeinen Aspekten der diplomatischen Strategie des Heiligen Stuhls befasst haben, sowie Archivare, die mit vatikanischen Dokumenten zum Pontifikat von Pius XII. vertraut sind.[Per il momento solo titolo, indice e riassunti] La cooperazione tra la Santa Sede e Washington per il contenimento del comunismo e l'assunzione di compiti caritatevoli e di assistenza da parte di sacerdoti e vescovi degli Stati Uniti hanno portato alcuni di loro ad assumere ruoli significativi nella diplomazia papale alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Tra questi, Mons. Walter S. Carroll nella Segreteria di Stato vaticana (1940–1950), Mons. Aloisius Joseph Muench in Germania (1946–1959), Mons. Joseph Patrick Hurley in Jugoslavia (1945–1950) e il Rev. Edward J. Killion a Ginevra (1947–1953). Questo libro esamina l'attività di questi attori durante gli anni del papato di Pio XII. Tra gli autori vi sono storici che già in precedenza hanno affrontato gli aspetti generali della strategia diplomatica della Santa Sede, nonché archivisti con buona conoscenza dei documenti vaticani riguardanti il pontificato di Pio XII.[For now only title, table of contents and abstracts] As a result of the cooperation between the Holy See and Washington in the containment of Communism and the work of charity and assistance, at the end of World War II several priests and bishops from the United States assumed quite significant roles in papal diplomacy. These included Msgr. Walter S. Carroll in the Vatican Secretariat of State (1940–1950), Msgr. Aloisius Joseph Muench in Germany (1946–1959), Msgr. Joseph Patrick Hurley in Yugoslavia (1945–1950) and Rev. Edward J. Killion in Geneva (1947–1953). This book examines the activity of these actors during the years of Pius XII's pontificate. The contributors include historians who have previously addressed the general aspects of the Holy See's diplomatic strategy, as well as archivists familiar with Vatican documents relating to Pius XII's pontificate
