Consequences
Summi Pontificatus incorporates elements of the never published encyclical "Humani Generis Unitas" against racism and anti-semitism, prepared by several Jesuits for their Father General. Pope Pius XI choose not to publish it in 1938, possibly in light of strong anti-Judaic or anti-rabbinic language in parts of it, which could be misunderstood by the faithful or perverted by pro-Axis media. Some 50 years later, this created some controversy, as to whether the new Pope should have published the encyclical letter of his predecessor without changes or additions.
