Not in the Diocese of Albany — Not Yet!

In 1985, when Amerio published his masterpiece entitled “Iota unum. Studio delle variazioni della Chiesa cattolica nel secolo XX [Iota Unum: A Study of Changes in the Catholic Church in the Twentieth Century],” the newspaper of the Holy See scrapped the review of the book commissioned by the prefect of the Ambrosian Library at the time, Fr. Angelo Paredi. The review was judged as too favorable, and “L'Osservatore” chose to be silent about the book from then on. So even the Vatican authorities joined in the intolerant silence that everyone was heaping upon the book and its author.

Now “L'Osservatore Romano” has reversed course. It has decided, not to remain silent about Amerio, but to speak. And to speak well of him.
