Bøker av Raymond Gardella

It was 1960 in Rome. John XXIII was just named Pope and a Council was coming. Change was the buzz word. The push was on to bring the Medieval ecclesiastical edifice in line with the fast evolving world. Latin was archaic and so was chastity. Church morality was outdated. A Council all seemed plausible until three clerics showed up and hammered away at its fallacies. They called its validity crowd pleasing. Paul Taunton, a cleric from the States, leads a cast of clerics in a refutation of a Council to nowhere. He gives a sterling performance as a young priest who argues the truth brilliantly with the Master's words. A reporter named Margot Dubois from the French journal Le Monde joins the fray and brings three Prophets' voices into the resisting halls of the Vatican. It all happens backstage behind the big Bronze Doors.
