On the wave of Pope John Paul II's recent extraordinary journeys to places such as Cuba and Israel comes this new, accessible survey of his teachings from one of his closest associates. Father Maciej Zieba, a Pole who came back to Catholicism after studies in physics and activist efforts with Solidarnosc, was ordained as a Dominican priest. Young, media-savvy, and down-to-earth as well as erudite and profound, Father Zieba has become known in Poland as an engaging interpreter of the Pope's teachings. Published here in English are eleven "conversations"--originally interviews conducted for a series of programs on Polish television--on the most important points of John Paul II's teachings. Journalist Adam Pawlowicz represents the reader in dialogue with Zieba, who not only clarifies these teachings but also confronts contemporary critiques. Tackling such complex issues as freedom, democracy, ecumenicalism, and sexuality with grace and equanimity, The Surprising Pope is a major contribution to our understanding of the papacy of John Paul II.

What do you really know about Vatican City? The Vatican, comprising the Apostolic Palace, St. Peter’s Basilica, and various other buildings, serves as the headquarters of the Catholic Church. It has done so for nearly two millennium -- ever since the first Pope, St. Peter, made it his home. Thousands of Catholics flock to the Vatican and its iconic basilica each year. Even if you haven’t visited you’ve likely watched with bated breath for smoke to rise from behind the cupola during the election of a new pope, or have laid eyes on the new pontiff when he emerged from the balcony for the first time. But what do you really know about this great basilica and the city that houses it? Here, Father Jeffrey Kirby takes you on a whirlwind tour of this little country (yes, Vatican City is its own country, Fact # 2) and uncovers the secrets and surprising facts about the city, and its famous church.

This behind-the-scenes perspective offers a unique opportunity to experience Pope John Paul II's character and reign, as well as a look at the inner workings of the Vatican. French journalist Caroline Pigozzi discovered a man both awe-inspiring and surprisingly warm and generous. Passionately prayerful and unimpressed by pomp and celebrity, John Paul II was the most-traveled and perhaps the most popular of the popes to date: a people's pope. Pigozzi reveals the intimate details of his daily life, his sometimes surprising philosophies, his revolutionary desire for accessibility to ordinary people, and his relentless drive to unify the church. This book unveils, in a friendly and richly informative way, a close-up of the man whose "eyes radiated infinite goodness" and whose life touched so many.

According to many informed observers, the Church is in the midst of the most serious crisis it has ever undergone. More and more questions keep arising about what really happened in 2013 with the surprising “resignation” of Benedict XVI, his decision to remain on as “pope emeritus,” and thus the presence of two popes living side-by-side. Why had the papacy of Benedict XVI become a sign of contradiction? What was happening on the geopolitical level? Who supported a “revolution” within the Catholic Church? Did, in fact, Pope Benedict truly resign? These are the questions Antonio Socci tries to answer, in what can only be described as an exciting “thriller,” closely scrutinizing the facts, along with the actions and words of Benedict XVI over the past six years, and concluding that he remains pope, a fact that has as-yet-unexplored consequences. In this compelling and well-documented work, Socci investigates the mysterious mission to which Benedict XVI has felt called in service of the Church and the world. The author hypothesizes that supernatural events may lie at the root of Benedict’s choice. In this vein, the reader is directed to an ancient prophecy in need of deciphering in relation to Benedict XVI, as well as a new, unpublished account of words spoken by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, which concern not only the Church but the whole world.

THIS IS A SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION OF AN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT CONSISTING OF RAW MATERIALS AND THE ACTUAL BUILDING BLOCKS THAT REVEAL "THE MYSTERY OF THE MAKING OF THE POPES." The book has undergone extensive development and this latest update may be considered as an "Unabridged Version" and "A Non-fiction Classic." It awaits additional editing and approval of related materials, prior to the official publication of a future edition. The following is a SYNOPSIS of The Mystery of The Making of The Popes that discloses how a former police officer solves his biggest case, not the case of an ordinary mystery, but of a spiritual mystery, and reveals the amazing role that an ordinary layman plays in the stunning elections of two extraordinary popes, John Paul I and Saint John Paul II. Popes come and go, but the Holy Spirit remains and is the constant key player in the sacred conclaves of the Roman Catholic Church. Seldom before has a chronicle ever encompassed the elusive role of the mystical Spirit as described in this book. The abiding presence of the third person of the Trinity is well demonstrated by revealing the details of this hitherto untold and mystifying story of the surprising elections of two pontiffs. How these popes rose to the throne of Saint Peter serves as a classic portrayal of the movement of the Holy Spirit, the unpredictable factor in every sacred conclave. This charismatic work reaches beyond religious denominations and shows how the Spirit uses the power of God's love to sustain a father's epic struggle to regain his lost son, and how such love miraculously transforms the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Church. The story takes the reader on a Psychological Adventure and a Spiritual Journey in life from humble beginnings to heavenly heights -- from the center of North America to the center of Christendom and to the heart of the Vatican. A shroud of mystery and great secrecy surround the elections of the popes of the Catholic Church, but the veil is lifted in this true story that culminates in the startling elections of one pope, and then another. The book describes how God uses this former police officer to bring about a stunning and revolutionary change in the Roman Catholic Church's long-standing tradition of electing Italian popes. It shows how the Church was re-directed on a new path for the future. It is an inspiring testament to the power and influence of the Spirit working in a person's life to bring about an important historical change. But this outcome does not happen without sacrifice and strife. The heart-felt plight of this devoted father intensifies after a family breakdown. The tensions increase when the opinions of an agnostic child psychiatrist clash in a crucial debate over the startling allegation of unusual spiritual involvement in the birth of his son (whose birth eventually leads to the elections of the popes) and this allegation becomes a shattering bone of contention. The dangerous presumptions and smug conclusions of the pseudo-science of psychiatry are exposed, but not before severing and crucifying the bond of love between a father and a son. In the ensuing quest to regain his lost son, he encounters "spiritual warfare" and lays bare the inner workings of a prominent cult. Miraculously, the searing struggle forms the bridge to the Vatican and the surprising elections of "The Unknown Pope" John Paul I, and his saintly successor, the great Pope John Paul II. THE MYSTERY OF THE MAKING OF THE POPES is a unique book of spiritual intrigue and of wide interest -- not only to various denominational and priestly professions, but also to medical and legal experts -- and to anyone who has ever had, or would venture to have, a personal and meaningful experience of faithful and sacrificial love.

Pope Benedict arrives in Britain in September 2010. In the five years since his election, he has travelled widely, spoken to millions and written in depth on a vast range of subjects: His aim, to make God truly known and loved. Despite gloomy predictions on this new papacy, Benedict has surprised everyone, accomplishing far more than was expected, in his own way. One of the most intellectual Popes in history, Benedict XVI understands that Christianity is a matter of the heart. This booklets confirms his view: In all humility we will do what we can, and in all humility we will entrust the rest to the Lord. It is God who governs the world, not we. We offer him our service only to the extent that we can, and for as long as he grants us the strength.

TREACHERY, INTRIGUE, AND WORLD DOMINATION BEHIND THE VATICAN WALLS The last pope narrative regained importance with the historical abdication of Pope Benedict XVI in February, 2013. His resignation led to the surprising election of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio as the first Jesuit pope in history. It’s very unusual to have two popes living in the Vatican at the same time. What’s more, Pope Francis fits the profile of one whom many have prophesied to be the last, and who will oversee the final transformation and destruction of the Catholic Church. This book details the history of various prophecies, some of which were hidden away in the Vatican for hundreds of years, and predicts that the reign of the last pope will herald the beginning of “great apostasy” followed by “great tribulation.” Pope Francis: The Last Pope? Money, Masons and Occultism in the Decline of the Catholic Church also explores the recent scandals within the Catholic Church and addresses questions including: What pressures decreed the end of the pontificate of Benedict XVI? What powers have an interest for the Church to end? and What is the relationship between the Vatican and the New World Order? Ideal for anyone interested in prophecies about the end of times, Pope Francis: The Last Pope? reveals the truth about the extent of Freemasonry’s influence in the Vatican and the darkness that may follow the parallel institutions, as well as fascinating investigations into the Gay Lobby, presence of Islamic prayers in the Vatican, the Jesuit agenda, the legend of the White Pope and the Black Pope, the Third Secret of Fátima, and how Benedict’s resignation may fulfill an ancient prophecy. The author substantiates his research by including secret, never before seen documents, as well as hard evidence from the heart of Freemasonry and the Holy See.

In The Hidden Pope, author Darcy O'Brien offers the account of the extraordinary relationship of Karol Wojtyla and Jerzy Kluger - their boyhood in the small Polish town of Wadowice, their separation at the beginning of World War II, their individual experiences under Nazi and Soviet tyranny, and their reunion almost thirty years later that deepened their friendship and made a profound impact on the history of our time. Set in the perspective of monumental reconciliation between Christianity and Judaism, this is a portrait of John Paul II that describes him as only his closest friends know him and as no pope has ever been portrayed before. Readers will come to know the Holy Father as a man and to understand his most controversial ideas as expressions of his dramatic experience of life.
