Redworth is one of the most readable and interesting of early modern historians and has a remarkable affinity with Spanish culture. This is another success for him.

.Catholicism for Dummies (For Dummies)
City Travel Guides > Books > Catholic
by: Rev. John Triglio, Rev. Kenneth Brighenti

May 29, 2003
If you're looking for intelligent analysis of the Catholic church, you won't find it here. The book is written by two priests.Why did the Catholic church give Vatican passports to Nazi torturers and murderers at the end of the 2nd world war? They fled to South america using their Vatican passports and were never seen again. In 1981 a man tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II.The Pope forgave this man 19 years later! obviously justice is more important than forgiveness.

.The Vatican Pimpernel: The Wartime Exploits of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty
City Travel Guides > Books > Catholic
by: Brian Fleming

April 01, 2008
Much to the embarassment of many, including his superiors, Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty rescued many from faschism and certain death in Rome during World War II. He did it all with a twinkle in his eye and a sense of humour that kept him sane throughout it all.

A man who is largely unrecognised in Ireland. I wonder if he would like the idea that he has a commemorative grove of trees and a poem dedicated to him by Brendan Kennelly. He was never a man who sought fame, just a man who thought he was doing a job, the job he became a priest to do and that it was only right to do it as best he could. With co-operation of many people around him he ensured the survival of many.

A touching portrait of a man who should be held ... Read More:

.The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by Herself (Classics S.)
City Travel Guides > Books > Catholic
by: St.Teresa of Avila

August 27, 1987
St Teresa wrote this story of her life under obedience to her superiors. It is not a conventional autobiography, there are few details of her childhood for example. She frequently digresses onto the subject of prayer and this contains some of the most lovely descriptions of the different stages of closeness to God. This is Spain's second most popular prose classic and allows a glimpse of the real woman behind the sainthood. Read this carefully, it is not a book to be read in one sitting. If you read it slowly, it will reward you with new insights into your own spiritual life.
For those who are more interested in the person than the spirituality, it gives insight into the life of a devout 16th century nun, who defied the conventions ... Read More:

.Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism
City Travel Guides > Books > Catholic
by: Scott Hahn, Kimberly Hahn

1993-12
The Catholic Church has been blessed in recent times by the conversion of former Protestants. Blessed, because they come to the faith with a real appreciation of the splendour of truth. Scott and Kimberley are two such people. As a 'born and bred' Catholic I thank God for such converts. They are usually to be found working hard for the Church and being steadfast in their faith. This book ought to be read by Catholics too!!

.The Apostles: The Origin of the Church and Their Co-Workers
City Travel Guides > Books > Catholic
by: Pope Benedict XVI

July 20, 2007
Both "The Apostles: The Origin of the Church and Their Co-Workers" and "Jesus, The Apostles and the Early Church" contain the same text, namely Benedict XVI's teaching at his General Audiences from March 2006 to February 2007 on the Apostles and the Early Church. Do not follow Amazon's recommendation to buy both as they have the same text in spite of different titles.
