I just looked if he got translated at all and it turns out his main work "Criminal history of christendom" is supposed to be available in Italian. It has ten volumes.

Here's the Italian amazon page about Deschner.

http://www.amazon.it/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/...s=deschner

I recommend getting this one: La croce della Chiesa. Storia del sesso nel cristianesimo

You die laughing.

Thanks for the suggestion! Big Grin
I'll have to keep that in mind when I get out of my (not hardcore, but still quite judgemental) household Tongue

The longest trip begins with the first step.

In this case, he has nudged forward 1 millimeter, and only has about 50,000 kilometers to go.

He's reached JPII's level of popularity very easily, and you can't go anywhere in Italy without seeing pictures of him in offices, houses and shops.

Which is quite ironic, by the way.

The masses do not count.
