Los Papas (The Popes) Audiobook Summary
Bien conocido por sus obras historicas, John Julius Norwich dirige ahora su atencion hacia la mas antigua institucion del mundo (ademas ininterrumpida), rastreando el linaje papal a lo largo de los siglos, desde el mismisimo san Pedro -el primer Papa segun la tradicion- hasta Benedicto XVI.
De los doscientos ochenta y tantos ocupantes del supremo cargo, algunos han sido santos sin lugar a dudas, mientras que otros se han sumido en la mas terrible inmoralidad.
De uno se dijo que era mujer y su sexo solo se descubrio cuando, con la mayor imprevision, dio a luz a un bebe durante una procesion papal. La papisa Juana nunca existio, pero hubo muchos Pontifices verdaderos casi tan extravagantes como ella: Formoso, por ejemplo cuyo cadaver fue exhumado, vestido con sus mejores galas papales, apuntalado en un trono y sometido a juicio; o Juan XII, del que el celebre Gibbon escribio que “sus violaciones disuadieron a las perefrinas de visitar el sepulcro de san Pedro”.
Otros se hicieron acreedores de respeto, como Leon el Magno, que protegio Roma de los hunos y de los godos, y Gregorio el Grande, que lucho valientemente contra el emperador. Tras las calamitosas Cruzadas, y el largo exilio del Papado en Avinon, llegaron los desmedidos Pontifices del Renacimiento -los Borgia y los Medici (“Dios nos ha concedido el Papado, ahora nos toca disfrutarlo”). Pio VII tuvo que lidiar con Napoleon y a Pio IX le tocaron las tempestades del Risorgimiento italiano.
El autor pone al dia la historia con agiles y amenas investigaciones sobre el antisemitismo de Pio XII, el posible asesinato de Juan Pablo I, y el fenomeno del polaco Juan Pablo II.
El ritmo nunca afloja ni desfallece. John Julius Norwich, un agnostico religiosamente imparcial, tiene una importante y trepidante historia que contar, a la que hace absoluta justicia en este libro apasionante e investido de autoridad.
