Vatican Spies
A revelatory history of the priests, nuncios and missionaries whose "special operations" have served the Holy See and its 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide.
Their Kingdom Come
To the outside world, Opus Dei's stated intention is 'to remind all people that they are called to holiness, especially through work and ordinary life'. But with an elite membership of 80,000 and tentacles reaching around the globe, this secretive sect within the Catholic Church has far greater potential influence. In recent years it has come under criticism from within the Catholic Church and from authorities in the countries where it operates, revealing a more sinister intention: to confront Islam on the world's spiritual battlefields, by whatever means necessary. Their Kingdom Come demonstrates how Opus Dei has forged an unholy alliance with the Mafia, secular powerbrokers and highly placed prelates, with the result that Christian values are being threatened by the malign influences of power politics and big money. Opus Dei's command council runs an immense intelligence network and a vast multinational conglomerate, preparing for what the organisation regards as Christendom's inevitable showdown with radical Islam...
The Vatican at War
When Pope Benedicts butler began leaking secret Vatican documents to an Italian journalist he was motivated by a desire to save the Catholic church from what he saw as a mounting tide of corruption. Among the issues he felt should be brought to the attention of the pope and the public were the roles of freemasonry and the secret services in Vatican affairs, and the mysterious disappearance of a Vatican schoolgirl, Emanuela Orlandi. The Orlandi affair ties the present travails of the papacy to the Banco Ambrosiano scandal and the death in London of its chairman, Roberto Calvi. The banker found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge was caught in a web of Cold War intrigue, from which the Vatican is...

Rompieron la pared
"Se logró, lo logramos, lo soñamos mucho, gracias por bancarme, por apoyarme siempre... Algún día se iba a romper la pared, se rompió la pared. Me la di muchas veces, pero seguí estando acá, seguí estando, nunca aflojé... siempre estuve ahí, y se terminó dando...". Estas palabras las dijo emocionado Di María a su familia, a través de una videollamada en medio del Maracaná, tras ganar la Copa América 2021. Luego de ser Campeones del Mundo por tercera vez en la historia, el ciclo de Scaloni al frente de la Selección Argentina merecía un relato que reconstruyera cada instante vivido. Volver a sentir como si fuese hoy los comienzos, la incertidumbre que se generó por su confirm...
Keepers of the Keys
A journalist describes the personalities and policies of three popes whose careers he covered for "Time" magazine. Pp. 213-218 survey papal restrictions on the Jews of Rome over the centuries, the ambivalent behavior of Pius XII during the Holocaust, and the struggle of Pope John XXIII and Cardinal Bea to have the Vatican Council pass the document condemning antisemitism against the opposition of many bishops and members of the Curia.
Roman Urbanism in Italy
This study presents new evidence for the development of commerce and inter-regional trade through survey and analysis of urban layout and architecture. The study of Roman urbanism – especially its early (Republican) phases – is extensively rooted in the evidence provided by a series of key sites, several of them located in Italy. Some of these Italian towns (e.g. Fregellae, Alba Fucens, Cosa) have received a great deal of scholarly attention in the past and they are routinely referenced as textbook examples, framing much of our understanding of the broad phenomenon of Roman urbanism. However, discussions of these sites tend to fall back on well-established interpretations, with relativel...
