Francis: A Pope for Our Time: The Definitive Biography Hardcover - 2013
by Luis Rosales; Daniel Olivera
From the jacket flap
The Roman Catholic Church has been undoubtedly going through a period of profound crisis. Endless scandals and conspiracies have plagued the Church in recent years, and with the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in February 2013, the Catholic community was left in dire need of direction and spiritual renewal.
Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, elected to the Chair of Saint Peter on March 13, 2013, in one of the briefest conclaves in history, represents a rekindled sense of hope for the Church's 1.2 billion followers. The first Jesuit to occupy the papacy, Pope Francis is also the first pope ever to hail from the Americas and has inspired an enormous sense of pride, especially among Latin Americans and his native Argentina.
Francis: A Pope for Our Time, The Definitive Biography incisively chronicles Pope Francis' ancestry, youth, call to faith, humble beginnings with the Society of Jesus, and rise all the way to the Vatican. The book emphasizes His Holiness' Jesuit background of humility, poverty, and service that stands to reform the Vatican's long history of power and excess, and its removed, otherworldly style of spiritual leadership.Details
