Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Inside the Vatican: The Politics and Organization of the Catholic Church. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. There are one billion Catholics in the world today, spread over every continent, speaking almost every conceivable language, and all answering to a single authority. The Vatican is a unique international organization, both in terms of its extraordinary power and influence, and in terms of its endurance. Popes come and go, but the elaborate and complex bureaucracy called the Vatican lives on. For centuries, it has served and sometimes undermined popes; it has been praised and blamed for the actions of the pope and for the state of the church. Yet an objective examination of the workings of the Vatican has been unavailable until now.Drawing on more than a hundred interviews with Vatican officials, this book affords a firsthand look at the people, the politics, and the organization behind the institution. Reese brings remarkable clarity to the almost Byzantine bureaucracy of congregations, agencies, secretariats, tribunals, nunciature, and offices, showing how they serve the pope and, through him, the universal church. He gives a lively account of how popes are elected and bishops appointed, how dissident theologians are disciplined and civil authorities dealt with. Throughout, revealing and colorful anecdotes from church history and the present day bring the unique culture of the Vatican to life.The Vatican is a fascinating institution, a model of continuity and adaptation, which remains constant while functioning powerfully in a changing world. As never before, this book provides a clear, objective perspective on how the enormously complex institution surrounding the papacy operates on a day-to-day level, how it has adapted and endured for close to two thousand years, and how it is likely to face the challenges of the next millennium.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The demented loon is at the far end of the lake; the Albany detective is at the bottom of Old Maid's cove. The historic Hyde Manor sits forlornly at lake side and waits for guests. Jeanne Sands comes to Vermont to paint the autumn colors. TH Ryder plans to spend a sabbatical through the winter. Staying at opposite ends of the Manor, they begin to hear sounds, voices in other empty rooms. Jeanne investigates and learns that 10 years before, the Browns were shot point blank at the dinner table in a gruesome family killing. Blood on the wall, no known motive, never solved. Jeanne reads in the old newspapers the various accounts of the murders and learns that the adopted daughter, Nancy Stokes, was considered a person of interest. But Nancy vanished without a trace. Jeanne reads that Nancy was adopted from the nearby Albany School of Troubled Girls. Jeanne and TH pay the Albany Institute a visit and hear that Nancy Stokes was a strange girl, remarkable, perhaps a mystic, maybe a Nephilim, other worldly. Nell, the Director, tells Jeanne and TH that the former Institute Director, Dr. Bollinger, was in love with Nancy. He had recently retired and moved to the Hyder Manor that spring. Bollinger was taking six months to write a history of Central Vermont and the historic Hyde Manor. One morning, he hanged himself from the second floor balcony. Bollinger left a considerable estate and most of it to Nancy Stokes, if she can be found alive. Nell hired an Albany detective to discover what happened to Nancy, but the investigator disappeared. Jeanne and TH return to the Manor and visit the strange man across the way in the boarded-up house trailer. Gene used to be the Hyde Manor maintenance man. He tells Jeanne and TH he also loved Nancy. Gene warns them that Nancy has returned to the Manor and that they are in danger. The haunting has begun.
