We have a winner: in its first month in the voting list, Saint Francis of Assisi by G.K.Chesterton got six votes.

The next books in the voting were:

- In second place, The return of the Prodigal Son, which got five votes.
- In the third place, there was a tie: Georgios and Broken Mary, each of which got four votes.
- Next came Out of the Ashes, which got three votes.

All the remaining books but two, got one or two votes.

Two books got no votes. One of them, The secrets of successful finantial planning, was protected from elimination, being its first month in the voting list. Therefore, the other book without votes, Gaudete et Exsultate by Pope Francis, is removed from the list.

The next voting will take place around mid-August, when two new books will enter the voting list:

Bearing False Witness: Debunking Centuries of Anti-Catholic History, by Rodney Stark, proposed by Manuel, and American Catholics: A History of the Roman Catholic Community in the United States, by James Hennesey, proposed by Fonch.
