Description
The Pope by Anthony McCarten A gripping and often humorous story of two men at the heart of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Bergoglio. Their paths converged in a shocking turn of events six years ago, when Pope Benedict resigned for the first time in 700 years. What drove this arch-conservative to break with tradition and pave the way for his successor? The Pope sheds light into one of the world's most secretive institutions, revealing the complex pasts and uncertain futures of its leaders. From their coming-of-age experiences under dictatorships in Germany and Argentina, to the scandal of sexual abuse by the clergy, this book raises a timeless question: in moments of crisis, should we follow the rules or our conscience?
