"Was Pope John Paul I murdered? If so, by whom, and to what end? Was the Catholic liturgy sabotaged to strip it of truth, power and beauty? If so, by whom, and to what end?

"Desde el primer momento como Papa electo, u obispo de Roma, apelativo que él mismo prefiere, el hasta hace poco cardenal Jorge Mario Bergoglio dio señales claras al mundo de los cambios que traerá su pontificado. La misma elección del nombre de Francisco nos indica su prioridad por ser como Francisco de Asís, el santo que vivió en la pobreza y que consagró su vida a los más desamparados.

"His Holiness is at once compelling journalism, drama, history, and biography. John Paul II, elected as the first non-Italian pope in five hundred years, readily used his global pulpit to speak out on behalf of human rights and those who were ignored by other world leaders - whether politically or economically oppressed, whether in the Communist or non-Communist world." "Born in a small Polish town where 20 percent of the population was Jewish, and...
