Pius IX: The Last Pope-King
49.99 €
The first book in Russian dedicated to the biography and historical role of Pope Pius IX, the last pope-king. Pius IX led the Roman Catholic Church from 1846 to 1878—thirty-two years, the longest tenure in the history of the papacy, counting from the time of St. Peter himself.

Pius IX's reign coincided with key events in European history, when the continent was decisively breaking with its past and becoming the Europe we know today. His uniqueness lies in the fact that he stood at the helm not only as the Catholic Church's spiritual ruler but also as its head of state, the King of the Papal States. Under the hurricane waves of political and social change, the thousand-year-old Papal State disappeared from the world map, and many of the dogmatic tenets of Pius IX and the Catholic Church hierarchy became obstacles to civilization.
