Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi certaines relations sont merveilleuses et d'autres catastrophiques, voire tragiques ? Pourquoi vous entendez-vous avec certaines personnes ? Pourquoi vous engagez-vous continuellement dans des luttes stériles avec d’autres ?

At the Vatican Council of 1869-1870, the church made an effort to set things right by defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. Author John W. O'Malley draws us into the bitter controversies over papal infallibility that at one point seemed destined to rend the church in two.

Wild at Heart presents her call to you, the ordinary seeker, to have a loving realization of God, which is your divine birthright.
