Meer over het boek
The election of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope surprised the world. From his first appearance, Francis has proven to be a Pope of surprises. With a series of powerful gestures, he has made it his mission to restore the tarnished reputation of the Catholic Church. However, the figure of Francis is quite controversial. The Jesuit was a contentious figure during his time as a cleric, and his actions during the Argentine military dictatorship raise many unresolved questions. Paul Vallely traveled the globe, speaking with companions of Francis from the last forty years, gaining remarkable new insights into the development of this fascinating personality. In his incisive biography, Vallely reveals what caused Francis's transformation from a reactionary to a revolutionary and how he became a Pope willing to challenge the entrenched structures of the Vatican.
