Gone with the Wind in the Vatican

Gone with the Wind in the Vatican (Italian: Via col Vento in Vaticano) is a book that was published in 1999, about nepotism, homosexual scandals, corruption, "clientism" and even Satanism within Vatican City, written under the pseudonym I Millenari ("The Millenarians"), a possible anagram of "Marinelli".

[1] The book, published by Kaos Edizione of Milan, sold 100,000 copies in its first three weeks alone and went out of print within the year, before foreign-language editions became available.

[1] According to Marinelli, "The book does not question the sanctity of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist or the Catholic Church.

[1] According to the book, Satanic masses have been celebrated inside the Vatican, with hooded participants naked from the waist down.

[5] Some critics regard the work as little more than "another recent catalogue of papal sin" and consider the majority of its details dubious.
