Andrea Tornielli

Paolo Rodari

Basta echar un simple vistazo a la prensa internacional para admitir la existencia desde hace tiempo de un ataque contra la Iglesia católica y, en particular, contra la figura del papa Benedicto XVI. Un ataque fundado sobre el odio ante cualquier cosa que diga o haga. Por ejemplo, la absurda polémica suscitada por las alusiones a Mahoma en el discurso de Ratisbona, que causó la ira en los medios islamistas, o la crisis diplomática tras las declaraciones sobre el preservativo en su primer viaje a África. Dos autorizados vaticanistas documentan todo lo que ha ocurrido, haciendo hablar a los protagonistas más cualificados y recogiendo testimonios inéditos que demuestran la existencia de tres tipos de ataques contra Benedicto XVI: el primero proviene de fuerzas externas a la Iglesia, el segundo tiene que ver con el disenso interno que hay en la propia Iglesia y el tercero procede de su entorno más cercano...

En Defensa del Papa

Vittorio Messori

Il più noto scrittore cattolico si racconta: dall'educazione familiare alla formazione laicista universitaria, dall'incontro con il Vangelo alla decisione di approfondire e divulgare le ragioni della fede. Il bilancio di una ricerca teologica e spirituale durata tutta la vita. Una confessione ricca di conoscenza, ma anche di esperienza e di grande umanità.

Perché credo

Un'inchiesta ricca di documenti inediti, che raccogliendo fatti di cronaca, testimonianze e testi profetici, lascia emergere un preciso piano d'attacco ai danni del pontefice tedesco.

Attacco a Ratzinger

Francis, rebuild my Church! That is how St. Francis of Assisi heard the call of Christ. It is also how Jorge Mario Bergoglio, at the age of 76, and a Jesuit, seems to have accepted his election to the papacy with the choice of a name that no other pope has ever chosen. Who is Pope Francis, elected in one of the shortest conclaves in history? Who is the man chosen to be the first pope from the Americas and the first Jesuit pope? How does he see the world and his ministry? How does he understand his call to serve Christ, his Church, and the world? In short, what is the mind and heart of this new pope of a new world--of the Americas and the rest of the world of the 21st Century? In the words, the ideas, and the personal recollections of Pope Francis--including material up to the final hours before his election--the most highly regarded Vatican observer on the international scene reveals the personality of this man of God, gentle and humble. The son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, he made radically following Christ and the way of non-violence the pillars of his pastoral ministry in a country, continually tormented by social and economic inequities. This complete biography offers the keys to understanding the man who was a surprise choice, even a kind of revolutionary choice, for pope. It is the story of the humble pastor of one of the world's largest archdioceses; a cardinal who takes the bus, talks with common folk, and lives simply. It is the story of why the cardinal electors of the Catholic Church set aside political and diplomatic calculations to elect a pope to lead the renewal and purification of the worldwide Church of our time.

Pope of a New World

Francis

Andrea Tornielli, the foremost "Vatican Insider" journalist, offers inspiring stories, incidents, encounters, and excerpts from the writings and talks of Pope Francis through his first year as Pope. These "little flowers" add up to a powerful witness by Pope Francis of "heartwarming stories of the Gospel in action", and they refl ect on various spiritual and social themes important to the Pope: mercy, forgiveness, charity, prayer, justice, the Eucharist, Our Lady, and much more. The title echoes the Little Flowers of Saint Francis, the famous collection of stories about the beloved Francis of Assisi, whose name the Pope adopted for himself. The Pope's little gestures and big ones, the minor or major choices he has made each day, his ability to meet everyone and to speak to everyone, his simple way of being himselfÑ these things have made Francis not only credible but, above all, close. The Pope is perceived by many, many people throughout the world as "one of us". Seeing him embrace the sick, the suffering, and the children, one understands why this is so. Fioretti offers a wonderful collection of insightful fragments from various aspects of the life of the Pope in his first year that will help the reader become better acquainted with the immensely popular Bishop of Rome who, as the first South American pope, came "from the end of the earth".

The Name of God is Mercy, Pope Francis' exploration on the universal theme of mercy, is a spiritual inspiration to both followers of Christianity and non-Christians around the world.Drawing on his own experience as a priest and shepherd, Pope Francis discusses mercy, a subject of central importance in his religious teaching and testimony, and in addition sums up other ideas - reconciliation, the closeness of God - that comprise the heart of his papacy. Written in conversation with Vatican expert and La Stampa journalist Andrea Tornielli, The Name of God is Mercy is directed at everyone, inside or outside of the Catholic Church, seeking meaning in life, a road to peace and reconciliation, or the healing of physical or spiritual wounds.
