Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piccolo mondo vaticano mette insieme lo stile di una guida curiosa con quello di un trattato di teologia, il manuale di diritto ecclesiastico e il volume d'arte con una summa di come – dalla morte di San Pietro in poi – i luoghi e i protagonisti di un unicum nella storia dell'umanità sono giunti a oggi. Compresi misteri, scandali e gialli irrisolti. Il racconto di Valli procede svelto, il tono è divulgativo. Con improvvise impennate che non nascondono i piccoli e grandi vizi, le polemiche e i drammi dell'attualità vaticana.Ettore Boffano, "il Venerdì di Repubblica"Invece di concentrarsi sui lati oscuri, Valli spiega dettagliatamente come funziona il piccolo e anomalo Stato. I suoi resoconti accuratamente documentati sulle attività del tempo libero degli ultimi papi ci dicono molto di più dei fascicoli di documenti e pronunciamenti ufficiali."Internazionale"Se oltrepassi il confine, entri in una dimensione singolare, nella quale convivono l'umano e il divino, lo straordinario e il quotidiano. Aldo Maria Valli è una guida d'eccezione per varcare la soglia del più piccolo Stato al mondo, il più misterioso.

Book La Santa Sede  gli Stati Uniti e le relazioni internazionali durante il pontificato di Pio XII

Download or read book La Santa Sede gli Stati Uniti e le relazioni internazionali durante il pontificato di Pio XII written by AA. VV and published by Edizioni Studium S.r.l.. This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prefazione di Kathleen Sprows Cummings Gli Stati Uniti e la Santa Sede sono due potenze mondiali, a vocazione planetaria. Se la storia delle loro relazioni è datata, il salto di qualità del rapporto è avvenuto con la seconda guerra mondiale e con la guerra fredda, quando non poterono più ignorarsi o guardarsi da lontano. Decisero di collaborare, e a livello planetario. È il tempo dei presidenti Roosevelt, Truman e Eisenhower e di papa Pio XII. Le loro relazioni internazionali toccano dossier che riguardano le più disparate aree, dall’Europa al Medio Oriente, dall’America Latina all’Estremo Oriente, e i più diversi ambiti, dalla politica agli affari ecclesiastici, dai rifugiati di guerra alle migrazioni. Il volume presenta la più aggiornata riflessione storiografica sulle loro relazioni e le prime considerazioni archivistiche a partire dalle carte conosciute con la recente apertura degli archivi della Santa Sede relativi al pontificato di Pio XII (1939-1958).

  • Publisher : Newton Compton Editori
  • Release : 2010-11-25
  • ISBN : 8854126810
  • Pages : 390 pages

Download or read book L oro del Vaticano written by Claudio Rendina and published by Newton Compton Editori. This book was released on 2010-11-25 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dai tesori inestimabili dei primi secoli fino alla fondazione dei grandi istituti bancari. Ricchezze nascoste, scandali e affari della Santa Sede. Nel corso dei secoli, le proprietà della Santa Sede si sono accumulate fino a formare un vero e proprio tesoro. Ben lontani dallo spirito apostolico e dallo spirito di umiltà e povertà raccomandato da Cristo, i rappresentanti di Dio in terra hanno edificato una complessa amministrazione per preservare, accrescere e controllare immobili, opere d’arte, monumenti, ori e denari. Vi sono le tombe faraoniche in marmo e oro di cardinali e papi, le decorazioni inestimabili di altari e volte, le collezioni di quadri, statue e preziosi esposte nei Musei Vaticani, nel Museo Lateranense e in altre collezioni della Santa Sede, i sigilli d’oro custoditi nell’Archivio Segreto e i tesori della Biblioteca. C’è il denaro accumulato dallo Stato Pontificio dalle origini al 1870, e poi la fondazione degli istituti bancari dello IOR e dell’APSA e i capitali custoditi nelle Isole Cayman, un autentico Fort Knox fuori da ogni legge. Inoltre le prelature come l’Opus Dei, solo teoricamente autonome dalla Santa Sede, in realtà costituiscono una fonte ulteriore di ricchezza. Gli scandali, le rivelazioni e i sospetti su questo patrimonio immenso sono sotto gli occhi di tutti e alla ribalta delle cronache più recenti. Forse è arrivato il momento di fare i conti in tasca al Vaticano. «C'è la storia e anche parte dei segreti dello Ior e dei soldi che copiosi scorrono sotto il Cupolone, nelle segrete stanze dove il sacro spesso ha rappresentato una comoda copertura di affari per nulla assimilabili a opere caritatevoli». Sergio Rizzo, Corriere della Sera «È il primo censimento completo delle finanze, dei beni e degli scandali del regno dei Papi». L’Espresso «All’indomani dell’inchiesta sul cardinale Sepe, un libro di Claudio Rendina vuole far luce sugli affari (noti e no) del Vaticano. Tra conti offshore e canzoni». Vanity Fair «Rendina ricostruisce la complessa rete patrimoniale della Chiesa Cattolica fornendo un utile strumento di comprensione anche per le vicende che negli ultimi mesi hanno coinvolto diversi appartenenti alle gerarchie ecclesiastiche». Left «Una lettura legata alla potenza, all’affare, ma anche al malaffare del Vaticano». Panorama.it «Forse è arrivato il momento di fare i conti in tasca al Vaticano» Terra Hanno scritto di La santa casta della Chiesa: «La scrittura di Rendina è chiara e vivace, capace di alternare sintesi storica, aneddoti e curiosità.» Gian Antonio Stella, autore di La casta «La storia vergognosa e nascosta dello Stato vaticano.» Corrado Augias, Il Venerdì di Repubblica «Claudio Rendina fa sembrare Dan Brown un principiante.» Filippo Ceccarelli, la Repubblica «Duemila anni di intrighi, delitti, lussuria, inganni e mercimonio.» Corriere della Sera Claudio Rendina scrittore, poeta, storiografo e romanista, ha legato il suo nome a opere storiche di successo, tra le quali, per la Newton Compton, La grande guida dei monumenti di Roma, I papi. Storia e segreti; Il Vaticano. Storia e segreti; Guida insolita ai misteri, ai segreti, alle leggende e alle curiosità di Roma; Storia insolita di Roma; Le grandi famiglie di Roma; Storie della città di Roma; Alla scoperta di Roma; Gli ordini cavallereschi; Le chiese di Roma; Roma giorno per giorno; La vita segreta dei papi, La santa casta della Chiesa, I peccati del Vaticano, Cardinali e cortigiane e L'oro del Vaticano.

Book The Vatican and Permanent Neutrality

Download or read book The Vatican and Permanent Neutrality written by Marshall J. Breger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book cover a fast-paced 150 years of Vatican diplomacy, starting from the fall of the Papal States in 1870 to the present day. They trace the transformation of the Vatican from a state like any other to an entity uniquely providing spiritual and moral sustenance in world affairs. In particular, the book details the Holy See’s use of neutrality as a tool and the principal statecraft in its diplomatic portmanteau. This concept of “permanent neutrality,” as codified in the Lateran Treaties of 1929, is a central concept adding to the Vatican's uniqueness and, as a result, the analysis of its policies does not easily fit within standard international relations or foreign policy scholarship. These essays consider in detail the Vatican’s history with “permanent neutrality” and its application in diplomacy toward delicate situations as, for instance, vis a vis Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan, but also in the international relations of the Cold War in debates about nuclear non-proliferation, or outreach toward the third world, including Cuba and Venezuela. The book also considers the ineluctable tension between pastoral teachings and realpolitik, as the church faces a reckoning with its history.

Book Religious Actors and International Law

Download or read book Religious Actors and International Law written by Ioana Cismas and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses whether a new category of religious actors has been constructed within international law. Religious actors, through their interpretations of the religion(s) they are associated with, uphold and promote, or indeed may transform, potentially oppressive structures or discriminatory patterns. This study moves beyond the concern that religious texts and practices may be incompatible with international law, to provide an innovative analysis of how religious actors themselves are accountable under international law for the interpretations they choose to put forward. The book defines religious actors as comprising religious states, international organizations, and non-state entities that assume the role of interpreting religion and so claim a 'special' legitimacy anchored in tradition or charisma. Cutting across the state / non-state divide, this definition allows the full remit of religious bodies to be investigated. It analyses the crucial question of whether religious actors do in fact operate under different international legal norms to non-religious states, international organizations, or companies. To that end, the Holy See-Vatican, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and churches and religious organizations under the European Convention on Human Rights regime are examined in detail as case studies. The study ultimately establishes that religious actors cannot be seen to form an autonomous legal category under international law: they do not enjoy special or exclusive rights, nor incur lesser obligations, when compared to their respective non-religious peers. Going forward, it concludes that a process of two-sided legitimation may be at stake: religious actors will need to provide evidence for the legality of their religious interpretations to strengthen their legitimacy, and international law itself may benefit from religious actors fostering its legitimacy in different cultural contexts.

Book excerpt: The news of Benedict XVI stepping down has come as a shock. Perhaps the world will never know the real reasons behind a choice that will forever remain indelibly written in the history of the Church. The Pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele, has decided to reveal the thorny issues within the Roman Curia and handed me dozens of documents that I have now published along with my research and investigations in this book. “Paolo, are you afraid?” – I asked him one day - “Yes, I am afraid – he answered – I am afraid that the Pope doesn’t have the strength to overcome this adversity, to cast the moneychangers from the temple” Shortly thereafter, the mayor of Milan, one of the most important cities of Italy, also met the Pope at a ceremony. Very concerned, he too revealed the detail of that encounter to me: “I am struck by that look, Benedict XVI is afraid,...”. “Afraid of what?..” I asked him. “I was very ill at ease, here was Ratzinger talking to me like a frightened man. You know, we had set out some chairs in the sacristy of the Duomo, one for him, one for Cardinal Scola and another one for me. Shortly before the ceremony the Vatican informed us that another Cardinal would also be present..” The book that will change the history of the Church.

Book Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni  1667 1740  and the Vatican Tomb of Pope Alexander VIII

Download or read book Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni 1667 1740 and the Vatican Tomb of Pope Alexander VIII written by Edward J. Olszewski and published by American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 2004 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the commission of the Vatican tomb of Pope Alexander VIII Ottoboni by his great-nephew Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni. Although neglected for centuries, the Ottoboni monument occupies the most strategic liturgical position in the complex of tombs in the Vatican basilica. It is impressive in scale, & offers a commanding presence on the path from the papal entryway to the apse & main altar, with a majestic papal effigy, a visually compelling narrative relief carving, & symbolically important allegories. Using unpublished archival documents in the Vatican & Lateran archives, this study discusses in detail the 30-year campaign for the construction of the tomb & identifies the artists & artisans responsible for the project. The monograph is comprehensive in its stylistic analysis, exploration of iconography, discussion of liturgical practice, & consideration of studio procedures beginning with patron & artist, architect & sculptors, & sculptor & artisans. reveals why the project required three decades to complete. "A well-written, informative, & important monograph. And, in the process, he has expanded our understanding of contemporary workshop practice and art making in the Rome of the later Baroque period. There are sections where the author's meticulous care & insightful reconstruction of events gives the reader a sense of ""being there"" in the day-to-day process of work on the site. These parts make for especially exciting and engaging reading." -- "An absolutely wonderful piece of work."
