“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, ” Saint Malachy supposedly said, “who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.” These chilling words serve as the opening passage of a captivating book by Jorge R. Araujo-Matiz, The Roman Peter II: The Last Pope?, which taps into the frightening possibility that Saint Malachy’s prophecy about the last Pope may prove just as accurate as those of the preceding popes. In Araujo-Matiz’s breathtaking thriller, the Catholic Church ignites the fuse of Saint Malachy’s unsettling prophesy by breaking with tradition in selecting a successor to Pope Benedict XVI. Instead of choosing a church leader to serve as the new pope, they select a member of the laity, who also happens to be a rich man as opposed to a devout ascetic and, most remarkably of all, a Judeo-Palestinian rather than a Catholic. Born Simon Rosenthal, the new Bishop of Rome and earthly head of the Roman Catholic Church becomes Pope Peter II and begins a monumental process of changing the focus of the Catholic Church to achieve impossible good: devoting its enormous financial assets, in addition to his own, to try to stop and even reverse the most significant problems facing humanity and the planet itself, including global warming, widespread poverty and unending hunger. Not surprisingly, with all of the vested interests in the world taking one side or the other in the pivotal debates about the new policy of the Catholic Church, unprecedented conflict erupts among various special interest groups, leading to bloodshed, terrorism, and other forms of violence. When Pope Peter II makes his best effort to avoid disaster, partially by organizing a global meeting in Israel to bring together the leaders of the world’s religions, he is taken hostage by opposition groups. In this nail-biter of a novel, the stakes are frighteningly high as Special Forces attempt to rescue the pope in time to prevent world calamity. Yet even if they succeed there is no guarantee that Pope Peter II will be able to negotiate the history-changing peace among the world’s competing religions and governments that he has envisioned. The Roman Peter II: The Last Pope? Pulls readers into a story as Fast-paced and compelling as anything penned by author Dan Brown. A compelling and well-researched story, Jorge R. Araujo-Matiz’s work of fiction is made all the more chilling by the real-life visions of Saint Malachy, which just may turn out to be more accurate than even his supporters might fear.

For almost fifty years, a controversy has raged about Pope Pius XII. Was the Pope who had shepherded the Church through World War II a Nazi sympathizer? Was he, as some have dared call him, Hitler's pope? Did he do nothing to help the Jewish people in the grips of the Holocaust?In a thoroughly researched and meticulously documented analysis of the historical record, Ronald Rychlak has gotten past the anger and emotion and uncovered the truth about Pius XII. Not only does he refute the accusations against the Pope, but for the first time documents how the slanders against him had their roots in a Soviet Communist campaign to discredit him and, by extension, the Church."Let those who doubt but read Rychlak, follow his exquisitely organized courtroom-like arguments. What Professor Rychlak brings to the forum are facts, not rhetoric; dates, not conjecture; evidence, not slander.... The world owes Ronald Rychlak a debt for bringing the truth to light." Rabbi Eric A. Silver"In his well-craft

When this man is beatified on May 1, 2011, putting him only one final step from sainthood, millions more will arrive, and thousands will pack St. Peter's Square. Rarely in our age has one person touched so many people so profoundly. LIFE Books first published its bestselling illustrated biography of this man in 1999, and now on the eve of beatification it is time to revisit the story, and bring it up to date with 25 new pages of inspiring text and photography. Pope John Paul II: Toward Sainthood follows the life of the former Karol Wojtyla through the great events of the 20th century, events in which he sometimes played a crucial role. In this book, a dramatic life is captured in words and extraordinary pictures-including photographs shared with LIFE by Karol Wojtyla's old friends in Poland, seen in LIFE's pages for the first time. Also in this expanded edition are the stories of the last ten years: the celebration of the 2000 Jubliee year at the Vatican, the horrific sexual-abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic Church and the papacy, the extraordinary funeral of John Paul II (the largest funeral in world history, and probably the most watched event ever) and, finally, the man's inexorable march to the communion of the saints. The Reverend Billy Graham writes in his moving foreword to this book: "Few individuals have had a greater impact-not just religious but socially and morally-on the modern world. He will stand as the most influential moral voice of our time." That voice has not been stilled by death, and is alive in the pages of this special book.

Pope John Paul II: A Life in Pictures is the most extensive—and the most beautifully produced—visual diary ever compiled of Karol Józef Wojtyla, who became one of the most respected religious figures and world leaders of the twentieth century. From his days growing up in the small town of Wadowice, Poland, through his extensive travels around the Christian and non-Christian world to his recent passing, mourned by the faithful worldwide, this astounding collection bears witness to the transformation of Wojtyla from a small child in Poland to the Bishop of Rome, the vicar of Jesus Christ, the patriarch of the West—Pope John Paul II. From his earliest years, we travel alongside Wojtyla from Wadowice with his humble parents to Kraków as an energetic student of literature and philosophy, an actor in an experimental theater troupe, and a poet participating in readings and discussion groups. After World War II, during which he began his religious training in an underground seminary, we watch as Wojtyla was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1946. Pope John Paul II then follows along on the path of his faith as he becomes a chaplain to university students, an archbishop, a cardinal, and finally, the pope. In 1978, Wojtyla, taking the name John Paul II, became the first non-Italian pope since the sixteenth century and the youngest pope in 132 years. Dedicated to Catholics the world over, John Paul II was the most-traveled pope in history, making a point to nurture his flock wherever they could be found. Pope John Paul II follows his extensive trips around the world—including the first papal visit to Auschwitz, with Fidel Castro on his historic tour of Cuba in 1996, and among throngs of admirers throughout Europe and the United States. Seen at the pulpit delivering sermons that gave hope to the destitute with his support of human rights, Pope John Paul II struck fear in the powerful as he condemned autocracies from the U.S.S.R. to Chile. We are also given lesser known but equally powerful moments, such as his visit to forgive the imprisoned Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot him in 1981, and his arrival in Sudan at age seventy-three as he kissed the ground at the Khartoum airport. A special tribute to a life and faith that reached around the world, Pope John Paul II culminates in his passing and the mourning of hundreds of millions around the globe from all faiths and political systems. The most comprehensive and superbly reproduced collection of photographs of the Supreme Pontiff ever compiled, Pope John Paul II provides visual testimony to his life as one of the most admired and revered men in the world.
