text: The question arises: why are you changing the subject?
  
  The NPR interview with David Kertzer (not "Kercher") concerns his Pulitzer Prize-winning book "The Pope and Mussolini," a carefully researched study that draws on previously unavailable material from the Vatican archives. I've read this book (you clearly haven't); it's very well written, scholarly, measured and illuminating. So anxious are you to discredit Kertzer that you appeal to an earlier volume concerned with Catholic anti-Semitism.
  
  I skipped the Catholic League link (why bother), but read William D. Rubinstein's review at First Things of this earlier work, "The Popes Against the Jews." While highly complimentary of the caliber of Kertzer's work Rubinstein complains that a book devoted to Catholic anti-Semitism too closely scrutinizes...Catholic anti-Semitism. He also accuses Kertzer, un-persuasively, of distortion through "post-Holocaust eyes." But regardless, this book wasn't the subject of the broadcast.
