It begins with his defense of the Church against Jansenist and Febronian heresies (Book V), leading to his forced resignation as Bishop due to failing health. The narrative then moves to his \"solitary\" years in Nocera (Book VI), where he suffers the \"hour before the storm\"-the papal suppression of the Redemptorist congregation he founded and the condemnation of his moral theology books. Despite blindness and the \"night of the soul,\" he endures these trials until his death in 1787. The Epilogue concludes with the posthumous vindication of his cause, tracing the long process of his beatification and eventual canonization as a Doctor of the Church.      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1942\" data-start=\"1740\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e548 pages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Fr.
