Shedding light into the darkest corners of the Catholic Church and
revealing some of the most mysterious and controversial aspects of
the institution, Jorge Blaschke describes the greatest challenges
facing the new pope Francis as he strives to usher in an era of
openness and reconciliation with the non-Christian world. The
author begins by examining the possible reasons for the unexpected
resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the sequence of events that
led to Jorge Mario Bergoglio's ascension to the most powerful seat
in Christendom. Bergoglio's own history--including the role he
played in Argentina during the dictatorship--is analyzed, and
controversies such as the Vati Leaks uproar and the resignation for
sexual misconduct of Scottish cardinal Keith O'Brien are discussed
as Blaschke paints a portrait of the serious obstacles that
threaten to derail the best intentions of Rome's latest pontiff.
