| Summary: | The pontificate of Pius XII coincided with the emergence of various civic initiatives promoting the formation of a global consciousness and a future world government. The analysis of the documentation consulted in the Historical Archives of the Secretariat of State of the Holy See and in various archives in Spain, France, Italy and the United Sates where the personal collections of prominent supporters of globalism (Salvador de Madariaga, Frank Aydelotte or Alexandre Marc) are preserved, allows us to delve into the position that Catholics, their international organizations, the Vatican Curia and the pontiff himself adopted with respect to those proposals. American Catholics joined from 1937 onwards in a campaign for globalism that would spread throughout Europe after World War II. The context and the previous management of the audience and the speech delivered in April 1951 by Pius XII to the leaders of the World Movement for World Federal Government allows us to interpret the position of Vatican diplomacy in the face of the nuclear threat, the Cold War bloc policy. While the Holy See gave priority to the strengthening of the Vatican City State, the pontiff encouraged a third way that saw in integral federalism and Christian universalism a world more akin to the Gospel utopia. |
