The pope and cardinals framed the threat of evangelical Christianity as a peril not only to the Catholic Church but to the fascist government as well, recruiting some very powerful fascist officials to their cause. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This important book is the first full account of this dangerous alliance.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45032360476823,"sku":"9780300215861","price":3362.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300215861.webp?v=1769208030","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-popes-against-the-protestants-the-vatican-and-evangelical-christianity-in-fascist-italy-9780300215861","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
