Host Vincent LoCoco, author of the novel, Saving the Music, which was just named as a Finalist for Historical Fiction in the International Book Awards, interviews historian and scholar Ronald J. Rychlak on Pope Pius XII and his role during the War.

A very hot topic with the opening of the Vatican Secret Archives in March of 2020 and seemingly new articles and books being published monthly critical of the late Pope with catchy headlines such as "bombshell" or "new evidence." 

With his legal mind, Ron lays out the case in support of Pope Pius XII with facts and through the words of Jewish leaders who were contemporaries with the Pope, newspaper articles  from that time, and the words of the leaders of the Third  Reich who responded to the pronouncements and  actions of  Pope Pius.

The interview is a fascinating look back on a very important topic.
