Résumé

In April 1987, amidst the shadows of dictatorship and repression, Pope John Paul II embarked on a historic pilgrimage to Chile that would resonate far beyond the walls of churches and stadiums. This meticulously researched and deeply insightful book unravels the profound political and spiritual significance of that visit, revealing how a single papal journey helped shape the nation's path from authoritarianism to democracy.
Drawing on exclusive archival sources, eyewitness testimonies, and incisive historical analysis, Ollie Newman explores the delicate dance of diplomacy and moral courage that defined John Paul II's engagement with General Augusto Pinochet's regime. From the symbolic masses held at sites marked by pain and resistance to the private audiences fraught with tension and hope, this narrative captures the complexity of a papal mission that blended faith, politics, and human rights.
Beyond Chile, this work situates the pilgrimage within John Paul II's global strategy of confronting tyranny through spiritual diplomacy, offering fresh perspectives on the role of religion in political transformation. It is a story of resilience, conviction, and the enduring power of moral leadership in the face of oppression. Perfect for readers fascinated by history, religion, and politics, this book illuminates a pivotal moment when the Pope's voice echoed through stadiums and streets to inspire a nation-and a world-toward justice and freedom.
