You are most welcome Douglas. The Allocutions of Pius XII are a true goldmine of wisdom that has aged magnificently 🙏

The odious regime?! That was the one just toppled and to which the pope and nobility had acquiesced. Shameful.

Regardless of the specific context which served as the immediate trigger for the allocution, the beauty of it is that the wisdom within is not context-specific. Indeed it is arguably more applicable to our own than that of 1947, especially for Christians.
