Robert Moynihan, Ph.D.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr. Robert Moynihan is founder and editor-in-chief of Inside the Vatican<\/em> magazine. He is an American journalist who speaks five languages, and a seasoned Vatican analyst. He earned his B.A. in English, magna cum laude, from Harvard, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from Yale. His thesis title was The Influence of Joachim of Fiore on the Early Franciscans: A Study of the Commentary Super Hieremiam. Other research fields included: History of Christianity, Later Roman Empire and The Age of Chaucer. Moynihan also received a Diploma in Latin Letters from the Gregorian University in Rome, Italy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Moynihan is a world-renowned commentator on Catholic issues who has appeared on Fox News, CNN, ABC, EWTN and other international networks to discuss the legacy of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI; he appeared live on Fox as the lead analyst for the election of our current pope, Francis.<\/p>\n

As a speaker, Dr. Moynihan often discusses the modern crisis of the Church in the post-conciliar period, set in its historical context to include the vision of the popes of our time.<\/p>\n

During his three decades as editor of Inside the Vatican<\/em>, he interviewed the future Pope Benedict \u2014 then-Cardinal Ratzinger \u2014 more than 25 times. His book, The Spiritual Vision of Pope Benedict XVI: Let God\u2019s Light Shine Forth<\/em><\/a>, has been praised by many in the Catholic world, including Father Benedict Groeschel, who said, \u201cIf you only read one book on Pope Benedict XVI, then read Bob Moynihan\u2019s book!\u201d<\/p>\n

His book on the current Pope, Pray for Me: The Life and Spiritual Vision of Pope Francis<\/em><\/a>, the first Pope from the Americas, was published in 2013. Dr. Moynihan\u2019s conversations with Cardinal P\u00e9ter Erd\u0151, Archbishop of Budapest, Hungary, were published in 2019 in the book\u00a0Guarding the Flame: The Challenges Facing the Church in the Twenty-First Century: A Conversation With Cardinal Peter Erd\u0151<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Moynihan’s latest book, the much anticipated Finding Vigano: In Search of the Man Whose Testimony Shook the Church and the World<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>was published by TAN Books in November 2020.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigan\u00f2 released an eleven-page testimony that rocked the world.\u00a0 In it, he called out the corruption of the Church, it’s handling of the sexual abuse crisis \u2014 specifically of disgraced Cardinal Theodore McCarrick \u2014 and, stunningly, called for the resignation of Pope Francis.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

And then he was gone . . . at least physically.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In his new book, Robert Moynihan, longtime publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, brings to\u00a0bear his vast experience in the corridors of Vatican power as well as his long-standing friendship with Vigan\u00f2 to provide an incisive look at his \u201cTestimony\u201d itself \u2013 and a personal look at the man whose conscience compelled him to speak out about \u2013 and, thence, to begin to heal \u2013 the canker of corruption in the Church he loves and to which he has given his life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
