Pope Francis Among the Wolves: The Inside Story of a Revolution

pope francis talk nycDiscussant: Elizabeth Castelli (Barnard College, Columbia University)

Author Marco Politi (Pope Francis Among the Wolves: The Inside Story of a Revolution) takes us deep inside the power struggle roiling the Roman Curia and the Catholic Church worldwide, beginning with Benedict XVI, the pope who famously resigned in 2013, and intensifying with the contested and unexpected election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, now known as Pope Francis. Politi’s account balances the perspectives of Pope Francis’s supporters, Benedict’s sympathizers, and those disappointed members of the Catholic laity who feel alienated by the institution’s secrecy, financial corruption and refusal to modernize.
