This book rocks. I really couldn't put it down; it was absolutely fascinating.

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
If you learn anything from "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" it's that the famed artist didn't paint the Sistine Chapel vault while lying on his back.
(You'll also learn than Michelangelo had bad personal hygiene--"never wash yourself," he would say--and that he sometimes went so long... more info

7.[no image]What Happened at Vatican II

Customer Review:
It seems to me that Father O'Malley brought along his own reviewing staff; all unanimously in favor of his favorable opinion of Vatican II.
Their opinions include, of course, the indictment of Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict16 as subverters of the "Spirit of Vatican II", also known as... more info

from Doubleday Religion
Price: $10.33

Customer Review:
I found the book to be a very interesting read. As a convert I have picked up little pieces of information here and there on how the Holy See operates along with the basic structure.
