The Last Pope
Vatican City, 29 September 1978: the world wakes to the shocking news that Pope John Paul I is dead, just a month after his accession. Thirty years later, in London, young journalist Sarah Monteiro receives a mysterious package. Enclosed is a list of names and a coded message. Moments later a masked assassin attempts to silence her for ever. It seems Sarah holds the key to unveiling a deadly secret - a plot that implicates unscrupulous mercenaries and crooked politicians, and which goes to the very heart of the Vatican. Sarah has no choice but to run, forced into a ruthless game of cat-and-mouse. She can trust no one, especially when her father's name appears on the incriminating list. Sarah finds herself at the centre of a world-wide conspiracy its keepers will stop at nothing to protect.
The Pope's Assassin
Upon his coronation as Pope, Benedict XVI is given an ancient document. It is the first thing a pope reads when he is elected, and holds the Church's most cherished secret-one that it will do anything to protect. But there may be other versions. And it's up to the church's agent, Rafael, to uncover the truth.
The Holy Bullet
The author of The Last Pope offers another fast-paced historical thriller, this time about the conspiracy surrounding the 1981 attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II. Reprint. An international best-seller.
Bala Santa
Tras el éxito internacional del best seller La muerte del Papa, que se publicó en más de veinte países, Luis Miguel Rocha regresa con un thriller impresionante sobre el intento de asesinato del papa Juan Pablo II. Un periodista internacional, un soldado portugués, un musulmán que afirma haber visto a la Virgen María, un cura heterodoxo que trabaja directamente para el Papa y agentes de los servicios secretos más influyentes del mundo..., todos ellos están implicados en la búsqueda de la verdad de lo que le ocurrió al Papa más querido de la historia. Bala Santa no es la continuación de La muerte del Papa, sino otro thriller frenético en torno al Vaticano, que mezcla hechos reales con ficción y se basa en teorías plausibles, fascinantes y aterradoras. Esta vez las preguntas son: ¿qué verdad se esconde tras el intento de asesinato del papa Juan Pablo II que tuvo lugar en el Vaticano en 1981? ¿Cómo pudo haber ocurrido? ¿Quién era Mehmet Ali Agca, el pistolero turco que disparó e hirió de gravedad al Papa y actualmente se encuentra en prisión? ¿Qué fuerzas secretas controlan la Iglesia católica?

The Neo-Catholics
Volumes have been written about the role the Religious Right played in achieving its ultimate goal - the presidency of George W. Bush. But few know the primary and essential role played by Catholics in instituting and directing the Religious Right as the means for the neoconservative takeover of the U.S. government, a group the author calls neo-Catholics. The first neoconservatives - Irving Kristol, Allan Bloom, and Francis Fukuyama - were proponents of the philosopher Leo Strauss who considered the ideal state as one ruled by an intellectual elite with religion used to mollify and intimidate the masses into obedience. Not only did Catholic leaders have a millennium of experience in propping...

God's Gift to You
The Roman Catholic Church's Eucharist should be open to anyone, regardless of whether or not that person has been baptized, is sinful or follows another religion. That's because Jesus Christ invites everyone to his banquet. But not all people feel the same as Fred Bert Ithurburn, a layperson who has written more than 200 letters to Pope Benedict XVI. He's still waiting for a response, but he isn't giving up on spreading the message of acceptance first brought to the world by Jesus. Just think how different the world would be if the early church fathers understood and applied the New Covenant properly, assuring a continued Gift of Eucharist to everyone. Jews might have accepted the more inclusive religion as a continuation of their own, and Mohammed might have felt welcome at a table where he was equally loved. The Greek and Roman Catholics would find no dispute, and no crusade would have sacked Constantinople. And that would have just been the beginning. In this sequel to God's Gift to You, you'll read some of the author's letters to the pope and decide for yourself the true meaning of the Eucharist.
The Pope Who Was Murdered
The author addresses in this book two important novelties, and they are not the only ones. The official biography of the beatification process (2018) brings a fact hidden for forty years: The doctor who had to make the diagnosis about the unexpected death of Pope John Paul I was denied an autopsy. Moreover, the gangster Anthony S. Luciano Raimondi, in his book When the Bullet Hits the Bone (2019), confesses that he was called by Archbishop Marcinkus, president of the Vatican Bank, to eliminate the pope "painlessly." Marcinkus administered the cyanide, and he only advised and accompanied. What happened? September 4, 2022: John Paul I is beatified in St. Peter's Square. He is beatified for his...
