Begins with a significant study of the attitudes of doubt created by Nietzsche, Marx and the other "prophets of darkness" who gave voice to their views during the second half of th enineteenth century. A general survey of the pontificates of Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV and Pius XI is then given and followed by an in-depth, detailed consideration of each Pope's reign, discussing the conflicts and problems encountered. One particularly absorbing account is the struggle Pius XI had against Communism, Fascism and the early years of Nazism. The geographical expansion of the church throughout the world during this period is next considered, with special attention given to the development occurring in the United States and Canada.
