Pope Pius XII
Pope Pius XII, who reigned from 1939 to 1958, was a significant figure in the Catholic Church during a tumultuous period that included World War II and the early Cold War. He is remembered for his controversial stance on various issues, including his approach to the Holocaust and relations with Nazi Germany. Pius XII promoted the idea of reconciling faith and science, advocating for the compatibility of Catholic doctrine with the theory of evolution, and emphasized the immediate creation of souls by God, a position that sparked considerable theological debate.
