Francis, a New World Pope

by Michel Cool
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
After Pope Benedict XVI's historic resignation of the papal office in February 2013, the College of Cardinals elected Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires — now Pope Francis — as the new leader of the world's estimated 1.2 billion Roman Catholics.
But who is this new Pope — really?
In Francis, a New World Pope, Michel Cool surveys Pope Francis's journey to the papacy, his convictions, his personality, his writings, and the challenges he faces in his new office — governance of the church, new evangelization in secularized societies, and poverty, among many others.
Peppered throughout with anecdotes that demonstrate the humanity of Pope Francis — and his sensitivity to those who are most distant from the Church — this book paints a vibrant portrait of the man who has chosen for his motto miserando atque eligendo: "lowly but chosen."
