de trente-trois ans son aîné. La passion qu'ils ont l'un pour l'autre l'emporte sur la raison, la morale et les conventions sociales. Ils choisissent la fuite et la clandestinité. Protégé par l'anonymat de la grande ville, le couple connaît une existence sereine et de leur union naissent trois enfants. Mais une crise de conscience amène l'ex-curé à réintégrer l'Église et à abandonner sa famille. Peu après son départ, la Grande Dépression éclate. Le passionnant récit de la lutte quotidienne de cette femme pour sa survie et pour le bien-être de ses enfants révèle les conditions difficiles de cette époque et soulève bien des questions sur le célibat obligatoire des prêtres catholiques et sur l'attitude du clergé envers les femmes.

" Aujourd'hui encore, nombre de personnes - et des plus sérieuses - font appel à des exorcistes pour se libérer…
de maux inexplicables dont elles souffrent dans leur corps et leur âme. Le Père Gabriele Amorth est considéré comme le plus célèbre exorciste du monde. Il s'acharne à délivrer ces êtres affligés de souffrances que ni la médecine ni la psychiatrie ne peuvent apaiser, et y parvient souvent de façon spectaculaire. Dans cet ouvrage, il nous donne maints exemples de ces possessions qui témoignent du pouvoir de Satan, parfois de manière stupéfiante, comme chez cette femme vomissant des clous ou chez ce garçon brûlé par de l'eau bénite. Le diable tente tout le monde, dit-il, surtout les religieux. Ne soyez donc pas surpris qu'il envahisse le Vatican. Et de vitupérer la volonté de puissance de certains prélats qui ont carrément pactisé avec les forces du Mal. Plus généralement, il nous met en garde contre une société qui a perdu le respect de l'autre et de la vie, faisant le lit du pire ennemi de Dieu et des hommes. " -- 4e de couvBy Madan Vasishta. 2006
