 Pope Pius XI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pope judged that it was folly for the French Church to continue to tie its fortunes to the unlikely dream of a monarchist restoration, and found the movement's tendency to defend the Catholic religion in merely utilitarian and nationalistic terms, as a vital contributing factor to the greatness and stability of France, unorthodox.
Pius XI's first encyclical as Pope was directly related to his aim of Christianising all aspects of increasingly secular societies.
Pius XI was the first Pope to directly address the Christian ecumenical movement.

 Pope Pius XI and the European Fascists
The problem for Pius was the fact that the church had taken a position against the spread of communist, and it appeared from the rhetoric coming out of Berlin that the Third Reich stood between Russian Bolshevism and the rest of Europe.
Involving the Church in the politics of a troubled and turbulent time, the pope secured a permanent place for the Church, dealt with the fascists when no one else dared, and at the same time continued the fight against the spread of communism.
When the pope dealt with the fascists, it was with the knowledge that fascism was a weapon of communism.

 October 27, 1999 DAILY CATHOLIC TEXT Section One (oct27dc1.htm)
Pius XI had truly established that the Papacy was a spiritual reign, not a temporal reign.
Despite this hurdle, Pius XI was able to instill, through the bishops, the unity of Catholics in their fight against those who would suppress or denigrate the Faith.
The "Fatima Popes" were gone and with them the hopes of many, but as both Benedict XV and Pius XI realized intrinsically, God would not abandon His Church and His children.

 Pope Pius XI
One might say that with Pius' encyclical Catholic social teaching as a tradition was born.
The solution to social problems lay not in attention to them, but in the religious renewal implied in a return to the Gospel and the Church.
There is an implicit idealism underlying most of Pius' writings, a belief that right belief is primary.

Pius XI formally denounced “the whole spirit of the doctrine that is opposed to the faith of Christ.”
While Pius XI was prepared to negotiate with the devil himself on behalf of the Church, he did not shy from public proclamations while assuming the offensive on behalf of the Church's creed and human rights.

 Pius XII-FAQs
Like many of the anti-Catholic canards rooted in the culture, the myth of Pius XII is raised to attack a host of Catholic positions on issues and the Church itself.
As Pius XI boldly proclaimed: “We are all spiritual Semites.”
Consequently the government was suggesting that the pope suspend admission into the Catholic Church for the duration of the war, a proposal that was, of course, rejected.”

 Pope Pius XI warned religious orders to maintain rigorous discipline
The Pope then applied this principle to accepting candidates for the priesthood and the religious life: "We do not mean by these words to refer merely to the severity of discipline in general, but above all, and in a special manner, to the severity with which trial should be made of postulants.
In 1938, Pope Pius XI addressed the Capuchin General Chapter and passed on these words of wisdom for the preservation of religious orders:
A certain rigor is especially suitable when there is question of the discipline of an order or religious families or different houses, because discipline keeps life on the alert; without it, life is not, perhaps, completely absent, but it is then feeble, intermittent, and idle.

 The Religion Report: 28 May  2003  - The Secret Encyclical of Pope Pius XI
And let us remember that the relationship with Nazism is itself in a wider context of a darkening global scene, of the growing threat of war, of the threat of communism that was already well known and feared and articulated, and justifiably so, from the standpoint of the church.
Stephen Crittenden: OK, well can you tell us the story of how this Encyclical came to be drafted by an American priest essentially, who Pius XI had read a book by, that he’d been impressed by, and who he called in to see him.
But when it came to the Jews themselves, there was no great love lost between the church and the Jewish people.

 Masonry - Cult of Liberty
It must be remembered that the pope was denouncing the Nazi government for its restrictions on the Catholic Church, so that it was most natural that he should proclaim the right of the Catholic to practice his religion.
The only reasonable interpretation of the Pope's words is that he was speaking of the inalienable right of 'Catholics' to profess and to practice their faith in the manner suited to their religious needs.
Question: In the English version of the Encyclical 'Mit Brennender Sorge', sent by Pope Pius XI to the German bishops on March 14, 1937, we read: "The believer has an inalienable right to profess his faith and to put it into practice in the manner suited to him."

 CNS STORY: Pope Pius XI saw (radio) wave of the future
He said the radio's mission to proclaim the Gospel message and be a bridge linking local churches with the pope and the Vatican is still valid and needed today.
With Christ, the word was made flesh; with radio, the pope's words were made trans-Atlantic and truly universal.
Today the radio's Chinese program is a lifeline for the underground Catholic Church in China.

 Divini Cultus - On Divine Worship - Pope Pius XI
Hence Pope Celestine I saw the standard of faith expressed in the sacred formulae of the Liturgy.
This school, which was greatly encouraged by Pope Benedict XV and was by him endowed with new privileges, is most particularly favored by Us; for We regard it as a precious heritage left to Us by two Sovereign Pontiffs, and We therefore wish to recommend it in a special way to all the Bishops.
There is thus a close connection between dogma and the sacred Liturgy, and between Christian worship and the sanctification of the faithful.

Encyclical decreed by Pope Pius XI on January 6, 1928 sternly warning all to dismiss any talk of ecumenism for only in the universal Church founded by Christ are the Truths manifested and salvation possible.
It contradicts all the post-conciliar church is attempting today with their ecumenical bent by compromising the Truths and Traditions that Pius XI sought to guard so carefully.
Given at Rome, at Saint Peter's, on the 6th day of January, on the Feast of the Epiphany of Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the year 1928, and the sixth year of Our Pontificate.

 PIUS XII AND THE JEWS: Pius XI and Pius XII
These are religious questions, and Pius XI dealt with them as such, as would Pius XII.
The charge laid by God on parents to provide for the material and spiritual good of their offspring and to procure for them a suitable training saturated with the true spirit of religion, cannot be wrested from them without grave violation of their rights.” (par.
In the broadest sense it is a religious issue, and perhaps that is why the Pope has put his finger on it more surely than any secular statesman.

 ~Destroy Freemasonry~ - Pope Pius XI 1922
As to the unity of action of the Popes, it is also worthy of attention.
For the first time the word "Laicism" (which means irreligious teaching) is to be found in a Pontifical document; it is the fatal and sought for result of both the Masonic doctrine and its direct action.
Ever since 1738 all the Sovereign Pontiffs denounced, stigmatized and condemned what has hitherto become the world evolution of Judeo-Masonry which, now, on earth, admits that it has but one adversary, namely, the Catholic Church, whose agony it is now witnessing.

Nevertheless, the Fascist government and the pope were in open disagreement over the restriction of the activities of the Catholic Action; this culminated in a strong papal letter (Non abbiamo bisogno, 1931), showing the impossibility of being at once a Fascist and a Catholic.
A few days later he issued a definitive analysis of Communism from the Roman Catholic point of view in Divini Redemptoris.

Let none require from another more than the Church, the mistress and mother of all, requires from each: and in questions, which in Catholic schools are matter of controversy between the most reputable authorities, let none be prevented from adhering to whatever opinion seems to him the more probable.
Again, could there be any more manifest indication of the very high esteem in which this Doctor is held by the Church than the fact that the Fathers of Trent resolved that two volumes only, Holy Scripture and the Summa Theologica, should be reverently laid open on the altar during their deliberations?
He enjoyed a more than human reputation for intellect and learning and Pius V was therefore moved to enroll him officially among the holy Doctors with the title of Angelic.

 Letter reveals Edith Stein asked Pope Pius XI to condemn Nazism
Edith Stein wrote to the pope, "As a daughter of the Jewish people, who through the grace of God has been a daughter of the Catholic Church for 11 years, I dare to express to the father of Christianity that which is worrying millions of Germans."
The saint, who died at the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz in 1942 and was canonised in 1998, wrote to the pope April 12, 1933, saying the whole world was "waiting and hoping that the church of Christ would make its voice heard."
