Former U.S. abmassador to the Holy See Francis Rooney provides a comprehensive guide to the remarkable path the Vatican has navigated to the present day and a first-person account of what that path looks and feels like from an American diplomat whose experience lent him the ultimate insider's perspective. Part memoir, part historical lesson, The Global Vatican captures the braided nature of religious and political power and the complexities, battles, and future prospects for the relationship between the Holy See and the United States as both face challenges old and new." -- book jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 327.45634 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 327.45634 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
