Sinopsis

Dealings with the Inquisition: A personal account of faith, freedom, and reform
This memoir recounts a dramatic escape from confinement and a long journey toward a changed faith. It blends vivid personal memories with hard questions about truth, power, and religion.

Through intimate scenes and careful reflection, you’ll see how one voice challenged centuries of church authority, faced ridicule, and sought to build a new path for Italian religious life. The narrative also shows the costs of reform, the pull of family, and the struggle to align conviction with action.

- A first‑hand view of imprisonment, liberation, and a return to one’s homeland
- A candid critique of legends about saints and the myths surrounding them
- A moving travelogue of faith, doubt, and a reforming heart
- A pastor’s perspective on religious change and its social impact

Ideal for readers of religious history, memoirs of reform, and 19th‑century theological debate.

At any rate, you may rest assured that, should I ever again be shut up in the Inquisition, no consideration will prevent me from giving a full account of all I may have seen or heard, as soon as I am released.

Excerpt from Dealings With the Inquisition: Or Papal Rome, Her Priests, and Her Jesuits; With Important Disclosures

It was in the month of July, 1842, that I was released, by order of Pope Gregory, from my first imprisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition. On this occasion, one of the Dominican monks who serve the office of inquisitor inquired of me, with a malicious look, whether I, also, intended, one day, to write an account of the Inquisition, as a well-known author had done before me, with respect to Spielberg, in his celebrated work, "Le mie 'prigioni." Perceiving at once the object of this deceitful interrogation, which was only to afford a pretext for renewing my incarceration at the very moment when liberty was before me, I smiled at my interlocutor, and exclaimed, "How is it possible, Padre Inquisitore, you can imagine I can have any idea of vindicating myself on account of the imprisonment I have undergone? No, be assured, whatever injustice you may have committed toward me, I shall attempt no vindication. You know full well that in this country there exists no tribunal higher than your own: even that of conscience is silent here, and prostrate before you. Should I make my complaint elsewhere, and appeal to the justice of another land, how could I hope, unknown and unfriended as I am, that my story would be listened to? Distrust is natural to man. One only tribunal remains; from that neither you nor I can escape; and it is to that same tribunal that I shall be able to summon the pope and his cardinals. Nay, setting aside the idea of my own appeal, they will be summoned to appear by the great Judge himself.
