In nome di Dio. La morte di papa Luciani

My 2nd reading of this book. A must for conspiracy theorists, as it truly shines a light upon a lot of very unusual matters that surrounded the death of Pope John Paul I, which happened just about a month after his election as Pope. One of his main issues was corruption in the church and the Vatican Leggi tutto

I haven't been paying attention. At almost 50, I've lived so far through five popes, and all this time, I've perceived the Holy See, as indeed holy.
