The daughter of a married priest promises her grandmother to write a letter to the Pope asking that priests be allowed to marry. During a vacation in Chiusi she discovers in the catacomb of Santa Mustiola that Bishop Lucio Petronio Destro was buried in 322 with five children; from this comes a letter to John Paul II about priests who leave the ministry to start a family, with reparative gestures ahead of the Jubilee.
Lino Tonti (Rimini, 1941) made his fiction debut with this novel, written in Italian and published in 1999.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the relationship between faith, family and priestly life.
