The Remnant brings to our notice an extraordinary remark made my Robert Moynihan in the latest edition of the magazine he edits, Inside the Vatican.

Sambi said, “Excuse me.” He got up, went out of the room, and came back with a book. “Here,” he said. “Do you know this book?

And in the end, we are all after the truth, aren’t we? The truth is the important thing…”
