Pope Francis's impact on the modern world has already proved
extraordinary. It is no surprise that he was voted Time magazine's
Person of the Year (in 2013), joining the likes of Martin Luther
King (1964) and President John F. Kennedy (1961). Francis has
turned the Catholic Church upside-down, flung open the windows of
the Vatican and started to purge the church of corruption, nepotism
and financial skulduggery. But above all he is engaged with the
poor, the starving and the marginalised. He has made important
visits to troubled spots in the world and invariably people say his
appearances change everything. Pope Francis is in constant dialogue
with the outside world and with the universal Catholic Church. He
likes being asked questions, finding it easy to respond, and
maintains a good relationship with the press. In this new book are
some of his most valuable engagements in dialogue form with people
of all sorts and kinds. On the one hand, there is his recent
engagement with priests in Colombia who are locked in a struggle
for human rights. In another lengthy piece, he talks about the
importance of scripture, in a way which shows how this is a living
source of inspiration. Also included are the texts of the Pope's
most recent addresses in Myanmar, Peru and Chile. Open to God: Open
to the World offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind and
workings of this entirely different Pope. As we see in these
conversations the Franciscan revolution is under way and, in spite
of Francis's critics, the revolution will roll on and new horizons
will be opened for the one and a half billion Catholics in the
world today.
