The book elicited many reactions, for example Pietro Ciavarella and Valerio Bernardi wrote Risposta a Inchiesta su Gesù, aiming to provide "informed and constructive apologetics". In 2010 he published I segreti del Vaticano (i.e. The Secrets of the Vatican), in which he deals with issues of power involving the Vatican state.
