About the book

The August 26, 1978, Albino Luciani found dead in the Vatican papal dependencies. Elected Pope only thirty-three days ago, Luciani had chosen the name John Paul I and the eve of his death was his secretary's list of bishops and cardinals who should be removed immediately. With prostitutes of Venice as a chorus, the reader attend to his confrontation very powerful characters like Bishop Marcinkus, head of the Vatican bank, witness a master catechists outside any protocol class and know how in the end, the hierarchy Church allowed a "Sicilian solution" out of the way for a pope that bothered him. After exhaustively documented, Evelio Rosero wrote a beautiful prayer, a brilliant literary creation that brings us to a pontiff who, in a visionary manner, while remaining mostly pastor, was proposed with a firm hand to tackle the endemic problems of the Church .
