Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the role traditionally fulfilled by secular rulers, the pope has been perceived as an individual person existing in a body subject to decay and death, yet at the same time a corporeal representation of Christ and the Church, eternity and salvation. Using an array of evidence from the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries, Agostino Paravicini- Bagliani addresses this paradox. He studies the rituals, metaphors, and images of the pope's body as they developed over time and shows how they resulted in the expectation that the pope's body be simultaneously physical and metaphorical. Also included is a particular emphasis on the thirteenth century when, during the pontificate of Boniface VIII (1294-1303), the papal court became the focus of medicine and the natural sciences as physicians devised ways to protect the pope's health and prolong his life. Masterfully translated from the Italian, this engaging history of the pope's body provides a new perspective for readers to understand the papacy, both historically and in our own time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Now, For The First Time In 348 Years, YOU Can Discover The Secrets Which Made St. Louis-Marie de Montfort's Marian Devotion Skyrocket" If you'd like to know the powerful secrets of one of the greatest servants of Mary, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read. First things first. First published in 1667, this is the only English translation ever done of Fr. Boudon's book. "Let St. Louis-Marie's biographers tell you about it" Canon Blain, St. Louis-Marie's best friend wrote: "As Louis-Marie devoted a lot of time to spiritual reading, he became familiar with nearly all books dealing with the spiritual life. Those which in my opinion were his favorites were those by the late Fr. Boudon. He would have liked everybody to join the society of the slaves of the Blessed Virgin. The source of this zeal was the book written on this subject by the late Fr. Boudon." Fr. Jean Marie Texier: "The writings of this holy priest charmed the fervent seminarian (St. Louis-Marie) in his free time and gave a lively impulse to his momentum toward the good. But none captivated him as much as The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God. "It is a rich repertoire from which Montfort drew extensively when his composed his Treatise on the True Devotion. One finds, in effect, in the writings of Montfort, the thoughts of Boudon, and sometimes even his expressions." "Your Marian devotion can go through the roof with this book..." 1. because you will be following in the footsteps of a great Marian saint. 2. because you will know why you can be certain of honoring God by this devotion. 3. because you will see how this devotion contains all other devotions and helps you practice them. 4. because you will know clearly how God is the ultimate end of this devotion. 5. because you will see why the devil hates the Rosary, and how you can beat him. 6. because you will get a clear explanation of why you need devotion to Mary to overcome the snares of the devil. (It may surprise you.) 7. because you will understand the untold benefits to you for having devotion to St. John the Apostle. 8. because you will drink in why devotion to St. Joseph, St. Joachim and St. Anne is important, and how devotion to them will increase your devotion to Mary. (Can you name the other saints? Pages 253-259 are a MUST READ.) 9. because you will know excellent ways you can honor the holy Angels, why it's necessary to have devotion to them, and the immense benefits of doing so. 10. because you will find out why faithfully living your devotion to Mary will bring you a high place in Heaven. 11. because you will learn the strength of Mary's Immaculate Heart (You have never seen it described like this.), and how Jesus Himself taught St. Mechtilde devotion to it. 12. because you will discover a clear explanation of the tricks of the demons and how they use the means we have of overcoming them against us. (Fr. Boudon gives the most assured means of overcoming them, and you will learn what the devil dreads the most.) All in all, St. Louis-Marie's approval and great use of this book in his "True Devotion to Mary" shows that it is on the up-and-up. No doubt. For him, this book was the 'pearl of great price', and might be the most important Marian book you invest in this year. And it can be yours without breaking the bank.
