About this title

Synopsis

A multifaceted study of seventeenth-century Rome captures the political intrigues, personal rivalries, and Byzantine workings of the Vatican and the Catholic Church in a study of the Piarist Order, an educational order abolished in 1646 because of the sexual abuse of children and the cover-ups and deceptions practiced by the Church. 25,000 first printing.
