In this episode, Maggie and Bob wander through the hidden world behind the Annuario Pontificio — the Vatican’s legendary annual directory packed with bishops, diplomats, dioceses, statistics and centuries of ecclesiastical memory. From the streets of Borgo Pio to the quiet offices where the Church documents itself line by line, they explore why this surprisingly fascinating book remains one of the Holy See’s most important — and most overlooked — publications.
