Don Raul Salvucci nel libro Le potenze malefiche. Come operano come si combattono offre un lucido e interessante approfondimento del tema delle potenze malefiche. Attraverso un linguaggio coinvolgente e spiritoso, egli mette in guardia dai pericoli legati all'interesse per maghi, oroscopi e sette, mantenendo un equilibrio che evita il macabro e il terrore, e riesce a trattare un argomento così oscuro con una semplicità, un'ironia e un'efficacia davvero sorprendenti. Il libro presenta anche una parte introduttiva interessante, che include alcune riflessioni di Papa Francesco sull'argomento.

Finding an apparently perfect world at Akenside Priory, and a haven after the loss of her father, Catherine Coldstream trusts herself to a group of twenty silent women, believing she is trusting herself to God.

Cut off from the wider world for decades, the community has managed to evade accountability to any authority beyond itself.

Perché "la felicità è rivoluzionaria".

In the west the cowboy way is a code of living. It is a mode of determination and perseverance that won't quit until the job is done. It is also a lighthearted way of having fun even through life's ups and downs. The Catholic Cowboy Way takes these same virtues and incorporates them into our walk with Christ. Following Jesus takes grit. By going all in with Him, Jesus teaches us how to fulfill the Father's will with passion and zeal. By learning from our Lord, we can also develop a childlike heart that can find peace and joy in the midst of the craziness of life in the twenty-first century.

For twenty centuries, the Catholic Church has radically shaped world history—and survived it.

With In the Courts of Three Popes, accomplished diplomat, international lawyer, and Harvard professor Mary Ann Glendon gives listeners a rare inside look at the papacies of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis.
