Crux Ansata - An Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church

At the height of World War II, H. G. Wells delivers a passionate critique of the Roman Catholic Church and Pope Pius XII, aiming to uplift British morale. He denounces the Church's influence, describing it as a "spreading octopus," while exploring themes such as the evolution of Christendom and the Church's role in history. Key essays address topics like the Crusades, heresies, and the interplay between faith and learning. This edition includes a new biography of Wells, a notable figure in literature known for his diverse writing, especially in science fiction.
