Well, I'm not sure which threads now where you posted about which spiritual or doctrinal works to read, roscoe. I'm simply asking here which you would suggest.
KP--my job is as a historian of Holy Church; I am not very well read in the great theologians.
Since you have asked, my first recommendations would be as follows
1)Infallible Constitution of Vatican I Church--
http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/V1.HTM#4 AND #6
2)Papacy--Brezzi
3)Papal Monarchy--Barry
4)Plot Against Church--Pinay
5)History Of Popes--Pastor(most vols are at Googlebooks)
6)Walsh--Isabella
7)=====Philip II
8)Secret Societies--Webster
9)Kertzer--Kidnapping Of Edgardo Mortara
10)=====Popes Against Jєωs
11)=====Prisoner Of The Vatican
If you have nothing else to do, there is about 4-5 years to keep you busy. Ciao
