With more than four decades of firsthand experience reporting from
Vatican City, David Willey explores the religious and personal
background of Pope Francis and his ability to fulfill the promises
of reform made during the first two years of his papacy. Sex crimes
and cover-ups, financial scandal, declining membership, and the
unprecedented resignation of its chief executive, Pope Benedict
XVI. These were the ingredients of a twenty-first century crisis in
the Vatican-a crisis that might have anticipated the election of a
steadily conservative pope, a career bureaucrat, and an insider. An
operator. Instead they chose Francis. Using his unparalleled access
and knowledge of the inner workings of the Vatican, BBC
correspondent David Willey chronicles Francis's first two years as
pope and analyzes what could happen in the years to come. He tells
the inside story of how this most unlikely man came from "the end
of the world" to lead the world's largest corporation into the
future, stirring millions to interest and faith again through his
frank speeches and benevolent beliefs. In putting this all into
context, Willey seeks to further unravel the mysteries and
conspiracies that continue to surround the worldwide headquarters
of the Roman Catholic Church. The world has never seen the Church
in a greater state of flux, as Francis's words and deeds have
enchanted, entertained, and sometimes enraged the public. In this
comprehensive biography complete with full-color photography, David
Willey explores the religious and personal background of the
inspirational Pope Francis, his stunning impact on the Catholic
Church, the hopes he has raised, and the legacy he will leave
behind.
