"Church, Peace and War in the 20th Century. Towards the religious delegitimization of conflicts" (2008) presents the discussions held within the Catholic Church regarding the deprivation of religious legitimacy of war. Starting from World War I, which Pope Benedict XV called a "useless slaughter," Menozzi shows the successive stages of the winding road towards recognizing that resorting to religion to justify the use of armed force is inadmissible.
