- Summary
- Authored by two highly-esteemed Argentine journalists, the book provides an in-depth analysis of Pope Francis' youth, influences, doctrine, and potential to inspire a renewal of faith, not only within the Catholic Church, but the world-over. From Bergoglio's coming of age in the Peronist era and his role in Argentina's darkest period, the Dirty War, to his volatile relationship with the Kirchners, and his views on everything from same-sex marriage and abortion to women's issues and the crisis of world poverty, this book addresses the all of the key issues facing the new leader of the largest religious organization in the world and provides a concise look at the history and politics that have consumed Latin America, Argentina, and the Church, breaking the cult of secrecy that has long plagued the region as well as the institution.
