Was Savonarola Really Excommunicated?: An Inquiry

Heretic or Saint? Excommunicate or Martyr? These questions have been central to the discourse around the person of Girolamo Savonarola since his tragic martyrdom on May 23rd 1498. Now, after a century out of print, Fr. JL O'Neil's excellent canonical defence of Savonarola and his actions has been made available! Fr O'Neil brilliantly examines all the documentation surrounding the tragic falling out between Pope Alexander VI and the friar, providing a stalwart defence of Fra Girolamo's actions in the face of tremendous pressure.
