LES SECRETS DU VATICAN(THE SECRETS OF THE VATICAN)
Book ID/图书代码： 10950009B31655
English Summary/英文概要： Based on recent access to top Vatican sources, an illuminating update on the secrets of the Holy See.
This is the book that reveals and examines the major mysteries of the last century of Vatican history, from the appearance of Christianity’s great rival, communism, up to the election of the last pope, Joseph Ratzinger. It offers answers, sometimes startling ones, about the issues everyone wonders about: Why was Mussolini the one who founded the Vatican City? What actual « silences » was Pius XII guilty of when confronting Nazism? Why did the Church scuttle the experiment of the worker-priests? How did the Vatican council come close to catastrophe? Did the Lefebvre affair really constitute a schism? What, precisely, was the cause of John-Paul I’s death? Who wanted to assassinate John-Paul II? How was Opus Dei rehabilitated? What was the “third secret” of Fatima? How was Pope Benedict XVI elected?
A good deal of ink has flowed concerning nearly all of these subjects, yet there remain shadows and doubts, interrogations and taboos that bear further examination.
A former reporter for La Croix, L’Express and Le Figaro Magazine, Bernard Lecomte is one of the best specialists on the Vatican. His books on the subject are references. He is the author of a very well-received biography of Jean-Paul II (Gallimard) which has been translated into five languages.
Lecomte’s much acclaimed biography “Benoît XVI” is already translated in Korean and Italian languages.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 梵蒂冈在拉丁语中意为“先知之地”。梵蒂冈原为中世纪教皇国的中心。公元4世纪开始，罗马城主教利用罗马帝国的衰亡，乘机掠夺土地，6世纪时获得罗马城的实际统治权，称为“教皇”。
早在公元4世纪，教皇康斯坦就在罗马城西北角耶稣门徒圣彼得殉难处建立了康斯坦丁大教堂以志纪念。到了15至16世纪，康斯坦丁大教堂被改建成如今的圣彼得大教堂，成为天主教会举行最隆重仪式的场所。
公元756年，法兰克国王丕平把罗马城及其周围的区域送给教皇（教会史上称为“丕平献土”），后来成为西欧教会和政治生活的中心，在意大利境内成立了以罗马为首都的教皇国，直辖领土面积达4万平方公里以上。
1870年8月，罗马爆发了反抗教皇政权的人民起义，意大利国王进驻罗马，意大利完成统一，教皇权力被剥夺，并被迫退居罗马城内西北角梵蒂冈。
1929年2月11日，意大利墨索里尼政府同教皇庇护十一世签订了“拉特兰条约”，意大利承认梵蒂冈为主权国家，其主权属教皇。规定从同年7月起成为独立的城市国家。国名全称就叫梵蒂冈城国。梵蒂冈为永久中立国，其国土神圣不可侵犯。
为你解开上个世纪梵蒂冈不为人所知的秘密。是谁想暗杀保罗二世？究竟法蒂玛的第三个秘密是什么？ 本笃十六世是如何选举的？(RY)
