D nde est el Vaticano? (Where Is the Vatican? Spanish Edition)

It's time to elect a new pope. Hundreds of thousands of people gather in front of St. Peter's Basilica to learn who will be the next leader of the Catholic Church. A white puff of smoke from a chimney signals the cardinals--the "princes" of the church--have elected one of their own who will continue to be the leader of the faith that has been around for more than two thousand years. Author Megan Stine charts the beginning of Christianity and its hold on members of the faith as well as the countless struggles for power (one pope was poisoned by his own men ), the building of the Vatican and creation of the Sistine Chapel, and the Secret Archives that hold papers the church has accumulated over the centuries.

Es hora de elegir un nuevo Papa. Cientos de miles de personas se re nen frente a la Bas lica de San Pedro para saber qui n ser el pr ximo l der de la Iglesia Cat lica. Una bocanada de humo blanco procedente de una chimenea indica que los cardenales (los "pr ncipes" de la iglesia) han elegido a uno de los suyos que seguir siendo el l der de la fe que ha existido durante m s de dos mil a os. La autora Megan Stine traza el inicio del cristianismo y su dominio sobre los miembros de la fe, as como las innumerables luchas por el poder ( un papa fue envenenado por sus propios hombres ), la construcci n del Vaticano y la creaci n de la Capilla Sixtina, y los Archivos Secretos que guardan los papeles que la iglesia ha acumulado a lo largo de los siglos.
