Monsignor Walter Amaducci Presents Pope Leo XIV with a Copy of his Book on the Holy Face of Manoppello

 

During the month of October, the theologian and pastor Monsignor Walter Amaducci, Episcopal Vicar for Pastoral Care in the diocese of Cesena-Sarsina in the Italian region of Emilia-Romana, presented a copy of his excellent book on the Holy Face of Manoppello to Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican.   My blogpost on Mons. Amaducci's book can be found at Mons. Amaducci

During the course of his private visit with the pontiff, Mons. Amaducci encouraged Pope Leo to request further information about the Holy Face of Manoppello from the Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle who has been promoting the devotion to the Holy Face of Manoppello for a number of years.

Mons. Amaducci, after having been very skeptical about the Holy Face of Manoppello, in the last several years has been quite active in raising awareness about the Holy Face together with a committed group of devotees of the Holy Face who, through their personal witness, helped him overcome his original hesitation regarding the sacred relic.  

The English language edition of Mons. Amaducci's book is available at Amazon or at ebay.
