PIUS XII, POPE
Pius XII, original name Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli, was born March 2, 1876, Rome. He died October 9, 1958 at Castel Gandolfo.
As pope, bishop of Rome and head of the Roman Catholic Church, he had a long, tumultuous pontificate (1939-58). During his reign as pope, the papacy confronted the ravages of World War II (1939-45), the abuses of the Nazi, fascist, and Soviet regimes, the horror of the Holocaust, the challenge of postwar reconstruction, and the threat of communism and the Cold War.
