Synopsis
Did you know that the Vatican is a country--the smallest in the world? Find out the amazing history of the headquarters of the Catholic Church in this Spanish entry in the WHO HQ series. ¿Sabías que el Vaticano es un país, el más pequeño del mundo? Descubre la increíble historia de la sede de la Iglesia Católica en esta obra en español de la serie WHO HQ.It's time to elect a new pope. Hundreds of thousands of people gather in front of St. Peter's Basilica to learn who will be the next leader of the Catholic Church. A white puff of smoke from a chimney signals the cardinals--the "princes" of the church--have elected one of their own who will continue to be the leader of the faith that has been around for more than two thousand years. Author Megan Stine charts the beginning of Christianity and its hold on members of the faith as well as the countless struggles for power (one pope was poisoned by his own men!), the building of the Vatican and creation of the Sistine Chapel, and the Secret Archives that hold papers the church has accumulated over the centuries. Es hora de elegir un nuevo Papa. Cientos de miles de personas se reúnen frente a la Basílica de San Pedro para saber quién será el próximo líder de la Iglesia Católica. Una bocanada de humo blanco procedente de una chimenea indica que los cardenales (los "príncipes" de la iglesia) han elegido a uno de los suyos que seguirá siendo el líder de la fe que ha existido durante más de dos mil años. La autora Megan Stine traza el inicio del cristianismo y su dominio sobre los miembros de la fe, así como las innumerables luchas por el poder (¡un papa fue envenenado por sus propios hombres!), la construcción del Vaticano y la creación de la Capilla Sixtina, y los Archivos Secretos que guardan los papeles que la iglesia ha acumulado a lo largo de los siglos.
