Across Brazil, leftist governors, mayors and scores of lesser officials were sacked from office. A group of nine visiting Chinese Communists were marched off to jail as subversive agents; police confiscated their $100,000 bankroll. In some places the roundup degenerated into ugly brutality. In Pernambuco, police arrested the 70-year-old leader of the state Communist Party, clouted him on the head with a rifle butt, stripped him down to his blue shorts, paraded him around Recife with a red tie around his neck, then hustled him off to jail. He died soon after-of a "heart attack...

He helped draft Pius XI's encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge (With Burning Sorrow), which condemned Nazi racism in 1937. When the Germans organized a roundup of Roman Jews in 1943 and 1944, the Pope made no formal protest, but allowed convents and monasteries to take in refugees, and offered 50 kilograms of gold to ransom the lives of 200 Jewish leaders. In Hungary and Slovakia, both predominantly Catholic countries governed by Catholic Nazi puppets...
