A Igreja Cat�lica, desde sua funda��o, h� mais de dois mil anos, tem sido uma for�a central na modelagem da hist�ria ocidental. No entanto, ao longo do tempo, essa institui��o religiosa, cujos ideais de amor, compaix�o e salva��o s�o pregados nas missas, passou a se tornar um imp�rio. Um imp�rio que, por mais paradoxal que pare�a, mistura f� com neg�cios, espiritualidade com poder. Em sua trajet�ria, foi respons�vel por grandes gestos de caridade e tamb�m por incont�veis epis�dios de explora��o e manipula��o.
O que encontramos hoje n�o � apenas uma igreja dedicada a salvar almas. Encontramos uma corpora��o global de vasto alcance econ�mico, pol�tico e cultural, com uma rede complexa de influ�ncias que perpassam fronteiras e sistemas de governo. De Roma a S�o Paulo, de Madrid a Kigali, a Igreja Cat�lica transcende os limites de um culto e se insere no mercado das ideias, dos neg�cios e das rela��es internacionais. Por mais que, em muitas de suas manifesta��es, a Igreja se mostre como um ref�gio espiritual, ela tamb�m � um player no jogo de poder que se estende por s�culos. N�o � raro ouvir sobre suas manobras pol�ticas, suas riquezas imensur�veis e sua imensa influ�ncia sobre decis�es governamentais. Uma influ�ncia que, por vezes, vai al�m dos muros das catedrais e se infiltra nos corredores do poder econ�mico e pol�tico global. Neste livro, vamos explorar essa dicotomia: a Igreja como um templo de f� e a Igreja como uma gigantesca corpora��o. N�o apenas questionaremos suas pr�ticas, mas tamb�m buscaremos entender os interesses financeiros e pol�ticos que moldaram seu caminho. Ao olhar de perto os bastidores da Igreja, n�o encontraremos apenas ora��es e hinos, mas neg�cios, investimentos e, muitas vezes, manipula��o. Com coragem e honestidade, nossa inten��o � lan�ar luz sobre os aspectos mais obscuros dessa grande institui��o. N�o se trata de atacar a f� de milh�es de pessoas ao redor do mundo, mas de entender como essa f� foi, em alguns momentos, utilizada e at� mesmo distorcida para interesses financeiros e de poder. Ao fazer isso, buscamos, acima de tudo, um questionamento saud�vel e construtivo sobre o lugar da religi�o no mundo moderno. Este � um livro para aqueles que querem olhar para al�m dos dogmas e das cren�as estabelecidas. Para aqueles que est�o dispostos a questionar o que sempre foi considerado intoc�vel e a entender a Igreja Cat�lica sob uma nova �tica: a de um imp�rio que, assim como qualquer outro imp�rio, possui um lado obscuro, uma maquinaria que precisa ser desvendada. Prepare-se para uma jornada de descobertas. Aqui, vamos separar o sagrado do profano e ver, pela primeira vez, o que realmente acontece por tr�s das portas douradas das igrejas, dos pal�cios do Vaticano e nas reuni�es dos poderosos que ditam os rumos da f� no mundo.• Author(s): Clear | James • Publisher: Penguin • Publisher Imprint: Penguin Random House • Subject: General Books
