Rec me books to help me regain my catholic faith
Please no boomer conservatard filth (traditional stuff is absolutely ok, just no pop-prottie tier books like joel Osteen or whatever he's called, though serious protestants are also alright as long as the book doesn't have too much of a protestant bias)

Italian authors especially encouraged

If you're talking about salvation, i didn't mention that at all. I just want to see if it is possible for me to believe in God and the Church again like i did before losing my faith as a young kid and then go from there

The Prince.

Once you realize how wretched people really are, it's only natural to cling to the highest ideal.

The Drama of Atheist Humanism - Henri de Lubac
Good read, good counter to the constant meme-tier Nietzschianism that gets thrown around on this board.

Have you read Augustine’s Confessions? It starts off as a biography so if you want to compare yourself to a fanatic it can be enlightening.

I enjoy cs lewis mere christianity, and the suttle thematic works of tolkein. However, those are more light platitudes and for the "feel". I sometimes listen to descartes meditations when I go to sleep. He has a lovely way with words.

Fear and Trembling by Kierkegaard is a seminal work in terms of the discussion of faith. I thought how he defines true faith as continually moving forward and living well with an acceptance of all possibilities--both success and failure--is such an amazing way to view faith, whether or not you're applying to religion.
