Fr. Arthur Lenti offers an in-depth & truly one-of-a-kind inside look at the Don Bosco’s relationship with Archbishop Lawrence Gastaldi through this three-part book.
The first section addresses Don Bosco’s political and religious concerns in the times of the liberal revolution in Italy.
The second section begins with a biographical sketch of Gastaldi’s life before introducing the Bosco-Gastaldi conflicts regarding the spirit of the Salesian Society and the approval of its constitutions.
The third section addresses “part II” of the conflict, which ranges from the approval of the Salesian Constitutions in 1874 to the enforced reconciliation (concordia) in 1882.
