EWTN Bookmark -Vatican Secret Archives: Unknown Pages of Church History. Also Three Kings, Ten Myste

The artistry and detail of Janusz Rosikon and Grzegorz Gorny, creators of Fatima Mysteries and Guadalupe Mysteries, shines in Vatican Secret Archives: Unknown Pages of Church History. The superb investigative journalism style of Gorny’s prose and Rosikon’s photography gained them access to the Vatican Archives, one of the world’s most guarded repositories of history and art. The team captures documents from Catholicism’s past, sharing confidential excerpts from the Trial of the Knights Templar, the Crusades, the French Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and the Holy See during World War II. Gorny also discusses Three Kings, Ten Mysteries: The Secrets of Christmas and Epiphany. Gorny’s aim in writing the book was to “separate legend and fantasy from historical fact.” He wanted to discover whether Christianity “relied on a series of stories, or on real events. I could not,” Gorny concludes, “foresee where such an investigation would take me.”
