More history than a salacious retelling, this meticulously crafted book addresses a number of issues of concern to people of faith. Hubert Wolf begins by setting the scene: the Roman Catholic Church has survived the Napoleonic era but a new period of social unrest and religious scepticism is abroad. The Popes of the time wish to reassert their temporal and spiritual control over the Papal States.The curia is divided between advocates for a more mystical devotion (the Zelanti) and advocates for a wider use of reason (Politicanti))who would reach out and try to unify European Christians within a Catholic framework. The Zelanti expected, especially in the region around Rome, to find miracles and to discover new saints. They were willing to believe in voices from beyond the grave and spirit visitations and to use them to buttress a burning faith. The Politicanti wanted to diminish the role of the miraculous in order to make room for revelations coming from the scientific study of creation and, especially, to avoid widening the gulf between potential Catholic sympathizers among some of the Protestant sects. The Popes did not want to see social unrest over economic disparities enter into the daily/worldly life of Italians in the Papal States, who could well be viewed as lagging behind other Italians and other Europeans in material well-being, education and so on. Lovers of history will enjoy this aspect of the story for itself.It was at this point that Pope Pius IX worked through the First Vatican Council to establish the doctrine of Papal Infallibility. We learn more about politics within the Church after this event. No party wanted to see the Church discredited in any way (unless they were certain members of the other party). The idea of a major spiritual and sexual scandal within a chapter of an order of nuns in the very shadow of Rome was not welcome. This book explores just such a scandal and the Church's legal and moral response and goes on to detail the process used by the Inquisitors to investigate the allegations. The record of this case has only resurfaced in modern times and this exposition of the process used back in the day will prove fascinating for interested readers.Hubert Wolf provides a step by step review and analysis of the case. His view is unstinting but sympathetic. The details are colourful enough: a Princess of the Hohenzollern family who wanted to be a nun made the denunciation, believing that she was being poisoned. A beautiful and personable young nun from a lesser background was accused of pretending sainthood as a ploy in sexual predation among novitiates at the convent. Echoes of this problem have been in the news for the past few years in America but they involve 'paedophile priests.' Learning about the approach honest priests, bishops and so on used in this case serves to illuminate the difficulties churchmen face in our times when they are called upon to deal with this tension between vows and all-too human nature. The treatment here is firm and is grounded in fact, history and doctrine. The book makes for important reading.
Awhile back, I was looking for something different to read and I came across the Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio: The True Story of a Convent in Scandal." The title makes it sound like and description of the book make it sound like the sordid tale of a sex scandal in a convent, but it goes beyond that. It goes beyond the scandal to explore how it could happen and delves into the mechanics of the Vatican, Church politics, and theological conflicts. If you're interested in the history of the Catholic Church or of religion in general, you'll want to consider this book."The opening of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's archives by John Paul II in 1998 made the Holy Roman Inquisition's files accessible to researchers for the first time. The files from the Sant'Ambrogio trial, which had been hidden for a century and a half in the most secret of all Church archives, finally saw the light of day. At last, the secret could be revealed - and what had sounded like an outrageous fantasy turned out to be a true story of a convent in scandal."I won't give away the story, but mixing sex, deceit, religion, and politics, The Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio is a history that reads like a thriller novel. It's easy to see why author Hubert Wolf selected this scandal as a topic to write on. For the first almost 2/3 of the book, it reads like a salacious novel as Wolf describes what happened inside Sant'Ambrogio and the beginnings of the Vatican investigation and trial. There are more than enough twists and turns there to keep the reader interested. Then comes one of the biggest turns of the story; the reader learns that it's not just about the scandal within the convent but also about the struggle between schools of theology within the Catholic Church. It's about Church politics and a battle for influence within the Vatican and with the Pope himself.It would be very easy for the last 1/3 of this book to become dry and uninteresting and I'm sure that some readers (those who read it just for the juicy scandal) to find it so, but Wolf has done a great job at making the trial and politics keep the reader's attention. Sure, there are parts of it that explain why and how the Vatican works, bits on European History in the early to mid 1800s, and there are explanations of schools of thought within the Church but these are necessary to help the reader understand what's going on and place things within context. If you hang on to the end (and you should), you'll understand more about how some of Catholic theology got where it is today and about how the Vatican got to where it is today (and to be honest, understand why Pope Francis has such a huge job ahead of him now...)The Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio was a fascinating read. As someone who doesn't know much about the Catholic Church, I came away with some more understanding on the Church and the Vatican. As someone who grew up within the Southern Baptist Church and came to detest church politics, this book reinforced my opinions on church politics and my wariness of the motives of church leadership (regardless of faith or denomination). Don't let the tawdry details of the scandal make you think this is just a book and about sex and lies. It isn't. This is a well researched and well documented that is ultimately about Vatican politics and the fight for theological supremacy within the Catholic Church. After some thought, I'm willing to give it a 5 star review; it was not only an interesting read but an informative one as well, on a subject that many are not familiar with. If you are interested in the history of the Catholic Church, I think this is a must read.
This is not only the story of a convent in scandal. If you are interested in the roots of the current climate and problems in the Catholic Church, or if you are interested in church history of this period (late 19th century -- circa Vatican I), this book is a good mine. The author dug through the Secret Archives not long after they were opened to researchers, found this incident, and then beautifully sets it into the context of the times.If you ever wonder about how papal infallibility was ever formulated and pushed through Vatican I, this is a crucial book to read. Follow the main characters through time. Google is your friend.
This is an excellent and in-depth book about not only a single incident, but an entire time and world foreign to most of us today. I was puzzled at first as by the end of chapter two the author had told the full story about this particular convent in Rome and what went on there. I thought, what is he going to spend the rest of the book writing about? The answer is that the author goes into depth on many of the aspects of the base story, and these details are fascinating. For example, how did this convent originate? Why was its founder tried by the Roman Inquisition? What was mysticism in the 1800s and how did that affect the outcome? These and many other fascinating topics are covered in this learned and rewarding book.
Not focused. Way too many names of characters, which shows the erudition of the author, but bored me. Could have been more succinctly focused. Not worth slogging though until the last 2 fairly interesting chapters. Can't recommend it. Wanted to stop with each chapter but hung in. Waste of time. Sorry.
