Years of work have led to the creation of this lively and colorful book where dogma joins anecdote, biblical exegesis with apparitions, spirituality with history, theology with mystery.

A surprising insight into an often secret world, which the author faces as a self-confessed devotee, but allergic to the sugary rhetoric of a certain devotionalism. These pages are both rigorous and informative. They are the result - as always - of the liveliness and clarity of the great journalist combined with the solidity of the up-to-date scholar with relentless documentation.
