So the Editor of Vatican Radio Writes A Book About Obama (Updated)

Sadly it will just be in Italian.

I am going to be anxious to see learn about the contents of this book. Sadly I expect it to be very lacking . Looking at this google translation Italian review it appears some of my concerns might be valid.

As general rule I have found the European Catholic press and Church folks have a very limited understanding of the American political process and all its dynamics. They generally parroted the American Main stream press non stop adoration of Obama and thought it was fact. I am not sure they got the memo that the press here is starting to stop the adoration.

I am not alone in this limited view. Archbishop Chaput tried in vain it appears to subtly tell them they were limited in their outlook. See The Bishop's Ax Falls on Obama. And on the Vatican Curia

However I am open!! Hopefully more translated bits will come out.

Hopefully there will be a chapter in the book on how Obama in cynical political move to advance his hope and to damage his GOP opponent killed immigration reform and how that relates to "Faith".

Updated-

A review here (translated via Google) and more in depth interview here(translated via google) of the author. (This is pretty good to get an idea where he is going)

Let me tackle this part of the interview on that last link:
But at the same time, Obama is, especially outside the United States, as a man capable of dialogue with the various courts, cultural, political and religious. . An American president sincere efforts to promote the cause of peace. . I believe that, precisely in light of the ambivalence of Obama's political message, one can read various reviews and, therefore, differences of opinion about him, present not only in Catholic environment.

Ok how is this "dialouge" going? We see here in the USA that it is not going so well. I have yet to see how this dialouge has done anything abroad. In fact just weeks ago the King of Jordan was here talking how the Middle East Process was on life support and other were talking about how it is basically been neglected? Yes Obama can give a good speech but what comes afterwards? How is it going as to Iran?
