What is it about the rhetoric of one the most influential and
powerful religious leaders in the world and in history-Pope
Francis-that is so engaging and yet so challenging to the Church
writ large, the American Congress, the news media, and the world?
The Rhetoric of Pope Francis: Critical Mercy and Conversion for the
Twenty-first Century provides extensive insight into this question
through a close, in-depth rhetorical analysis of Pope Francis's
visual, spatial, tactile, written, and oral discourse. This
analysis reveals how the interrelated topoi of illness, space,
mercy, and conversion converge to articulate Francis's vision for
the Church. Under Francis, the Catholic Church's virtue of mercy
gets renewed and redeployed to papal, pastoral, and political sites
for the purpose of conversion. Each chapter identifies several of
Francis's dominant rhetorical strategies. These "pope tropes" take
the form of existing and widely held Catholic beliefs that, while
stable, still invite interpretation, disputation, and open
dialogue. Studying Francis's various discourses provides us with an
exemplary paradigm from which we can learn much about faith,
humility, love, and papal rhetoric's transformative capacity to
help us live more compassionate lives.
