Le témoignage à l'origine du biopic "L'Exorciste du Vatican" (au cinéma en 2023), avec Russell Crowe dans le rôle du père Amorth. Il a voué sa vie à la lutte contre le Malin. Exorciste officiel du Vatican pendant un quart de siècle, le père Amorth a réalisé pas moins des milliers d'exorcismes. Dans ce récit, il relate les expériences les plus troublantes qu'il a vécues, auprès de personnes possédées venues lui demander son aide, souvent après des années de souffrances. Il revient sur certaines affaires, scandales, disparitions et assassinats qui ont éclaboussé l'Église, en révélant le rôle du Mal. Mais le récit du père Amorth est aussi une dénonciation d'un système où le clergé ne croit plus au démon et où les jeunes prêtres n'ont plus envie d'apprendre le rituel de la délivrance des âmes. Pourtant, selon lui, le besoin est immense, car " la lutte contre le Mal a commencé à l'origine du monde et durera hélas jusqu'à la fin des temps ". Est-il possible d'abandonner ainsi le champ de bataille aux ténèbres ? Le témoignage unique de l'exorciste officiel du Vatican nous fait pénétrer dans les coulisses d'un sacerdoce secret et tabou.

Italian intellectuals played an important role in the shaping of international politics during the Cold War. The visions of the world that they promulgated, their influence on public opinion and their ability to shape collective speech, whether in agreement with or in opposition to those in power, have been underestimated and understudied. This volume marks one of the first serious attempts to assess how Italian intellectuals understood and influenced Italy’s place in the post–World War II world. The protagonists represent the three key post-war political cultures: Catholic, Marxist and Liberal Democratic. Together, these essays uncover the role of such intellectuals in institutional networks, their impact on the national and transnational circulation of ideas and the relationships they established with a variety of international associations and movements.
