Download or read book The Pope s Armada written by Gordon Urquhart and published by Corgi. This book was released on 1996 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three most powerful of the ultra-traditionalist movements within the Catholic Church engage in secret initiation ceremonies, brainwashing techniques involving ego destruction, moral and spiritual intimidation and highly questionable, even dangerous, psycotherapeutic practices. These three movements--Focolare, Communion and Liberation and the Neocatechumenate--have a total world membership of around thirty million. They are completely self-contained, and each is ruled by a charismatic founder, the centre of a fanatical personality cult. In many respects these movements behave like other sects such as the Moonies. Yet they have the strong support of Pope John Paul himself, who has adopted them as his personal 'Armada': his task-force for a crusade of extreme right-wing values. The author, who for nine years was a Focolare leader, draws on interviews with ex-members and his own experiences to reveal the bizarre hidden world of these organizations. "The Pope's Armada" shockingly depicts a potent and sinister force for reaction, which could turn out to be John Paul II's most enduring legacy.

Download or read book The Complete Idiot s Guide to the Popes and the Papacy written by Brandon Toropov and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Idiot's Guide® to the Popes and the Papacy offers a comprehensive look at the history, trials, and triumphs of the Bishops of Rome. This book offers an easy-to-understand historical survey of the papacy, which is among the oldest institutions on earth, and may well be the oldest continuous position of leadership in existence. It's all here: remarkable stories of popes who held immense power within the Church and popes who served as figureheads; popes who ruled as supreme authorities in their own right and popes who offered an inspired model of resistance to secular tyrannies; popes who lost sight of the dictates of their own faith and popes who set sublime moral and devotional examples to the world. The book offers history, trivia, and trends new and old -- as well as a look at the future of the office. This is an entertaining and enlightening look at one of the world's most remarkable jobs, one that has guided Catholicism for two millennia and wields an influence today.
