A Vatican Atlantic Alliance
As a result of the cooperation between the Holy See and Washington in the containment of Communism and the work of charity and assistance, at the end of World War II several priests and bishops from the United States assumed quite significant roles in papal diplomacy. These included Msgr. Walter S. Carroll in the Vatican Secretariat of State (1940-1950), Msgr. Aloisius Joseph Muench in Germany (1946-1959), Msgr. Joseph Patrick Hurley in Yugoslavia (1945-1950) and Rev. Edward J. Killion in Geneva (1947-1953). This book examines the activity of these actors during the years of Pius XII’s pontificate. The contributors include historians who have previously addressed the general aspects of the Holy See’s diplomatic strategy, as well as archivists familiar with Vatican documents relating to Pius XII’s pontificate.
Church and Communion
This book is about ecumenism, from a Catholic point of view. The first part, chapters 1 and 2, describe the history of divisions within the Church, as well as of the efforts to bring about Christian unity. The second part examines Ecumenism from a systematic theological perspective. This first part takes into account the different factors that led to definitive ruptures within the Church, which usually are not only theological. The text gives useful information about what happened after the respective divisions as well as about the various attempts to restore unity, the development of the Ecumenical Movement in the 20th Century, and the current situation of ecumenical dialogue within the Cat...

Opus Dei: A History (1928-2016), Volume Two
For almost a century, Opus Dei has transmitted to the world a message of encounter with God in ordinary life. A first of its kind, this book traces the history of the institution from its foundation in 1928 to 2016. It is based on extensive research in previously unexplored documents in Opus Dei' s archives and numerous interviews. Volume Two covers the five decades that begin with the opening of the Second Vatican Council in 1962. During that period, Opus Dei grew from 5,000 to more than 90,000 members and established centers throughout the world. Pope St. John Paul II made it a personal prelature and canonized its Founder, St. Josemarí a Escrivá
Faith, Force and Fiction in Medieval Baptismal Debates
Drawing on a wide and interdisciplinary range of sources that goes well beyond the writings of theologians and canonists to include liturgical texts and practices, the rulings of popes and church councils, saints' lives, chronicles, imaginative literature, and poetry, Faith, Fiction and Force in Medieval Baptismal Debates illuminates the emergence and fortunes of these three controversies and the historical contexts that situate their development. Each debate has its own story line, its own turning points, and its own seminal figures whose positions informed its course. The thinkers involved in each case were, and regarded one another as being, members of the orthodox western Christian communion. Thus, another finding of this book is that Christian orthodoxy in the Middle Ages was able to encompass and accept disagreements both wide and deep on a sacrament seen as fundamental to Christian identity, faith and practice.
