Pope Francis and his struggle to convert the Catholic Church

Summary

This deeply contextual biography centers on the tensions generated by the Pope's attempt to turn the Church away from power and tradition and outwards to engage humanity with God's mercy. Through battles with corrupt bankers and worldly cardinals, in turbulent meetings and on global trips, history's first Latin-American pope has attempted to reshape the Church to evangelize the contemporary age. At the same time, he has stirred other leaders' deep-seated fear that the Church is capitulating to modernity, leaders who have challenged his bid to create a more welcoming, attentive institution
