John Cornwell examines Pope Francis's life and legacy, and his efforts to break up the traditional Catholic Church so that it may be reshaped as a source of hope, guidance, and support. With exceptional insight, prescient analysis, and original reporting, Cornwell traces the ways in which the Church has fallen from esteem in recent years - and the manner in which the pope has instigated fresh ideas for disrupting entrenched Catholic mindsets in order to create a thriving Church for Catholics around the world.
