The encyclical „Mit brennender Sorge“: Zollschan, Pacelli and the Divine Word Missionaries – This study examines three new findings from the Roman archives that places the encyclical “Mit brennender Sorge” (with burning anxiety) in the context of the Roman curia’s racial debate. Focusing on the environment of State Secretary Eugenio Pacelli, the following concepts are scrutinized: 1. The Austrian Jewish physician Ignaz Zollschan (1877–1948) gave the decisive impetus for a rescript against Nazi racism, published on April 13, 1938 by the Congregation of Studies. 2. Pacelli took over the phrase used for the title of the encyclical “Mit brennender Sorge” from Josef Grendel (1878–1951), the General Superior of the Divine Word Missionary Order. 3. A study combating the evolutionary theory, provided by the Austrian ethnologist Wilhelm Schmidt SVD (1868–1954) in October 1936 for the Holy Office, was used as a draft text for the planned encyclical against racism that was never published.
