The 2011 version of Anura Guruge's well received 'The Next Pope'
book that was initially published in early 2010. This updated and
expanded version, 29 pages longer, is meant to be the definitive,
no stones left unturned handbook for the next papal election, post
2011, following the reign of the current pope, Benedict XVI. The
Catholic News Agency (CNA) in its review of the 2010 book, by
Brother Benet S. Exton, on June 4, 2010, said: 'This book will be
of interest to scholar and general reader and it is a must for
those interested in anything about the Papacy.' 'The Next Pope
2011, ' deals, in detail, with the traditions, the norms, the
papabili, the rituals, the dynamics, the politics, the mechanics,
the laws, the precedents, and the pertinent history of papal
elections -- along with an in-depth description of the 2005 papal
vacancy following the death of the bestriding John Paul II. This
handbook for papal elections will stoke and satisfy the reader's
fascination as to how the next pope will come to be elected and
provide the historical context for all of the norms that will be
followed. With this book at hand the reader can be an expert when
the next papal transition comes along. Rather than having to rely
on the media for insights and intrigues, the reader can now be a
cognoscenti with an insightful appreciation of what has to happen
in Rome -- and with step-by-step details of all the protocols that
have to be followed. This is a book for anybody that is interested
in the popes, papacy, papabili, the College of Cardinals, conclaves
and Catholicism. It is a large book is full of insights, analysis,
opinions, statistics, pictures, diagrams, tables and trivia. A 'Top
1000 Reviewer' at Amazon, who gave the 2010 book 5 stars had this
to say: 'No one who is intrigued by papal history (as I am) should
be without this book. While it is not footnoted and its
bibliography is slim, it bears evidence of careful and exhaustive
and unusual research.' A companion Web site,
www.popes-and-papacy.com, with an active, widely followed blog,
ensures that the reader will always be kept up to date on all
relevant developments. Anura Guruge is also the author of 'Popes
and the Tale of Their Names' -- a book applauded for its unique
look at papal history through the prism of papal names. Anura
Guruge is also the author of a number of other books on non-papal
topics.
