On a hot and dusty December day in 1980, the bodies of four American women - three of them Catholic nuns - were pulled from a hastily dug grave in a field outside San Salvador. They had been murdered two nights before by the US-trained El Salvadoran military. News of the killing shocked the American public and set off a decade of debate over Cold War policy in Latin America. The women themselves became symbols and martyrs, shorn of context and background.

Already infamous for the arbitrary, paranoid persecution of its own citizens throughout much of the 20th century, the Soviet Union - as is revealed in John Koeher’s revelatory, eye-opening exposé - also waged a vicious espionage campaign against the Catholic Church and its followers. From the persecution of local priests to an assassination order against Pope John Paul II, the KGB viewed Catholicism as a threat to stability in Eastern Europe and treated the church as an enemy of the State. Lifetime journalist and former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer John Koehler has written the definitive book on this startling history.

Her father's too-tender care of her has made her stepmother wildly jealous, and so Hester sets off, knowing only that she can't stay.

This superb memoir of a gay working-class boy from Manchester exploring how to reconcile his sexuality with his Catholicism is all the more powerful because of his deep knowledge of and commitment to his faith. Spanning the late 1960s to the present day, Mark Dowd's Queer and Catholic chronicles a changing attitude to same-sex attraction over more than half a century and is packed with stories in turn funny, deeply moving and spiritually insightful.

Este libro expone la decadencia en el corazón del Vaticano y de la actual Iglesia católica. Un brillante trabajo basado en cuatro años de investigación rigurosa, que incluye entrevistas a los más altos cargos eclesiásticos. Sodoma revela los secretos de un sistema que se inicia en los seminarios y continúa hasta el Vaticano; basado en la doble vida de algunos sacerdotes y en la homofobia más radical. La esquizofrenia resultante en la Iglesia es insondable.

Nonostante il crescente pluralismo culturale e religioso, la Chiesa cattolica resta una presenza profondamente radicata nel tessuto sociale del paese e ben visibile anche sulla scena pubblica. Nel dibattito sui valori è spesso terreno di scontro, ma anche punto di riferimento non solo per i credenti. Come si spiega tutto questo? E come sono cambiate, dal dopoguerra a oggi, la Chiesa e la società italiane?

Se porventura conseguirmos atingir uma genuína compreensão dessa Epístola, teremos aberto uma amplíssima porta de acesso aos mais profundos tesouros da Escritura.

C'è un'ansia di cambiamento nel mondo. Papa Francesco la raccoglie nei suoi gesti e nelle sue parole, specialmente in un tempo di crisi quale quello che stiamo vivendo. È chiaro che abbiamo tutti bisogno di capire che cosa ci sta accadendo, di dare una lettura umana e spirituale di quel che viviamo. Francesco, come si comprende in questo volume, assimila la visione di sant'Ignazio di Loyola così come emerge negli Esercizi Spirituali. E afferma che i "desideri allargano il cuore": è in essi che "si può discernere la voce di Dio" nella storia di oggi.
