This Special Edition Chiesa viva was compiled and published in 2024 by Dr. Franco Adessa.

This Chiesa viva is based on what Fr Luigi Villa encouraged Mel Gibson to do after he filmed The Passion of the Church saying: "You have only done part of your work.  With your next film, you must do "The Passion of the Church"!

 We now have it available in English for the first time!

At the behest of several priests and the workings of Divine Providence, we were able to get this printed and make it available to you.
