Reviews
"In this account . . . Edgardo pours the soothing balm of love and truth over the turbulent waters of polemics, showing more eloquently than any argument could where the rights and wrongs of the case truly lie." --Roy Schoeman , from the Foreword; Author, Salvation Is from the Jews "The Mortara Case is something few people know much about. It involves sacramental issues, the relation of Jews and Christians, kidnapping, and the last of the Papal States. Ignatius Press is well advised to bring this book originally published in Italian to our attention." --James V. Schall, S.J. , Professor Emeritus, Georgetown University "The Mortara Case has returned as an issue. This book explains the historical context and then lets Fr. Mortara himself speak through his memoirs. It is well worth reading." -- Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. , Senior Fellow, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology "Ambiguities about the Mortara Case will remain, but the measured commentary of Vittorio Messori and the unprecedented publication of Fr. Mortara's own diaries put the whole emotional dilemma into a clearer light." --Fr. George Rutler , Pastor of St. Michael's Church, New York; Author, He Spoke to Us: Discerning God in Events and People
