The Final Conclave by Malachi Martin

The Final Conclave

Millions of Catholics and non-Catholics have been perplexed and disturbed by the veil of secrecy that has engulfed the Church of Rome. 

This book demonstrates how powerful members of that Church were willing to make compromises with a communist future. 

They believed that the price of the Church’s survival had to be a fundamental break from Western institutions and the manner of life we had all known. 

Other prominent officials stand in their way, pleading for the Church to be restored to its proper role.

The ultimate decision was made by all of these men, who represent a quarter of the world’s population, during Conclave 82, a special conference held after Paul VI’s death to determine the new Pope. 

Dr. Martin, a former Jesuit, takes us behind the scenes to observe the unlawful jockeying for Peter’s crown and its worldly power; many Cardinals have been electioneering since the early 1970s. 

We learn why Pope Paul VI’s vast changes, which he believed were necessary to ensure the Church’s existence, have driven the Cardinals to make one of the most important decisions in history.
