He went to Crotone (pop. 40,000) on the sole of Italy's boot in 1955, and since then has managed to recruit a congregation of more than 300. When the police closed down his church in a converted apartment, Rauti carried his case to the 15-man Constitutional Court, whereupon the court ruled that no one in Italy needed a license to build...
