Beskrivelse
In 1968, a Muslim bus mechanic reported seeing a clear apparition of the Madonna at the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt. Over the next three years, Protestants, Muslims, Catholics, and people of all faiths reported seeing similar sightings there. According to the Orthodox religion, the site of the Madonna's appearances is one of the locations where the holy family stayed during their flight to Egypt.
Did the Madonna really appear? For the most part, non-Catholics believe earthly appearances by the Madonna are Demonic in nature. However, they widely accept that Samuel was brought up from the dead (1 Samuel 28). Given that, it's arguable the Madonna could be sent by Her son as a messenger, which is the premise of this fictional, three-part "trilogy" book.
An Italian immigrant named Big Al comes to America at the turn of the twentieth century in pursuit of his dreams. He becomes associated with some of the biggest Mafia gangsters of the day, helps elect a president, and serves as a US envoy between the president and the pope, during which time he hides a shocking and powerful secret (the Third Secret of Fatima) given in 1917 by the Madonna to a future nun.
In the late 2000s, reporter John Tate is lured into a search for the still-hidden secret. He is met by opposing Freemasons wanting a new world order. The more he digs, the more questions Tate has:
Why has the Vatican kept quiet about the Third Secret of Fatima since 1917?
Was Pope John Paul I murdered in 1978, after just thirty-three days in office?
Did Pope Benedict XVI resign because he was being blackmailed?
Was the current pope validly elected?
Has the Prophecy of Popes correctly predicted 112 popes in a row?
Is there to be only one more pope after this one?
During his investigation, Tate gets help from two unlikely people: Big Al's son Giuseppe--a former American diplomat himself--and a priest who, as a boy, claims to have been visited by the Madonna.
The fate of the world hinges on the answers they uncover!
