"Translating the letters of Pius VI will be of great value to students of the French Revolution and of French History. They represent an often untold story of the principled approach that the Church instinctively has taken when confronted with revolutionary chaos." - John Rao, professor of History at St. John's College and author of Removing the Blindfold, a history of late 19th Century French religion and politics.

"This is an important translation. If Talleyrand was a modern day Arius, trimming the Catholic faith to imperial imperatives, then Pope Pius VI was a modern day Athanasius and St. John Chrysostom rolled up in one.
