A thoughtful, highly acclaimed biography of Giovanni Battista Montini, Paul VI, which sheds light on and powerfully underscores the personal and ecclesial sides of a man who brought modernity to the church.
Following after brilliant authoritarian Pope Pius XII and good-humored Pope John XXIII, Pope Paul VI seemed hesitant, anxious, even tormented. Yet the impact of his fifteen-year-long papacy was colossal: not a single aspect of Church life was left untouched in the whirlwind of change unleashed by the Ecumenical Council he guided and sought to implement. Who was this man, Giovanni Battista Montini (1897-1978), who so altered the face, the voice, the bearing of Catholicism? Versatile historian Yves Chiron is equal to the challenge of portraying this multifaceted and in many ways enigmatic figure, who was ordained a priest without passing through the seminary and never held a simple parish assi...
Pope Paul VI was one of the most perceptive and visionary popes in the modern era, foreseeing not just the rise of secularism, but the negative effect it would have on the family and the human soul. Yet despite the tremendous spiritual and theological value of Pope Paul VI’s writings, much has been forgotten, lost in the decades of controversy and dissent — until now. In these pages, Matthew Bunson resurrects the time-tested teachings of Pope Paul VI, showing how his prophetic reflections on modernity are needed in our own age more than ever. Guided by the deep spirituality and approachable theology of Paul VI, you’ll come to understand the root causes of secularism, the risks of globa...

Historical information on Paul VI's life and papacy accompanied by some photographs.
Pope Paul VI (1963-78) was one of the most important and influential pontiffs of the twentieth century. In this engaging biography, Michael Collins examines this deeply spiritual man who is remembered as a reformer, evangelizer, and pilgrim. Pope Paul’s pontificate was marked by an unprecedented series of international journeys, establishing a practice that his successors developed even further. These brought him face-to-face with modern life throughout the globe and the challenge of making the Christian message relevant in a secular world. Paul VI is regarded for his efforts to reduce poverty in the developing world, bolster the church’s rejection of artificial birth control, and foster better relations between Catholics and Orthodox and Reformed Christians. He was beatified in 2014 by Pope Francis.
A revised and improved translation of Pope Paul VI's encyclical letter, Humanae vitae.

A compelling and fast moving book that unveils the real story about Paul VI and how the Vatican confederacy used him to advance their own progressivist designs. It brings into focus the hidden plan to alter the liturgy before Pope Paul was even elected, and presents the facts concerning the true origin of the modern Mass and how the pope actually fought against this. It exposes the faces and profiles behind the untold plot to censor and forge Pope Paul's mail, and presents forensic evidence to substantiate allegations that Paul VI was drugged while an impersonator misrepresented him before the public. In addition, this book cites the many accomplishments of Pope Paul VI, and shows the extraordinary extent he went to in proselytizing the public even before he was pope. It also quotes from his many speeches and letters and features a chapter just on his "Humanae Vitae," held by many to be a spiritual milestone of the 20th century. As such, it provides a timely meditation for the Year of Faith when the cause of his beatification is underway. Riveting and bound to captivate!
