De Benedicto A Francisco by Paloma Gómez Borrero

A concise, eyewitness chronicle and analysis of the Catholic Church’s turbulent transition after Benedict XVI’s resignation, the 2013 conclave, and the early years of Pope Francis; it blends reportage and personal anecdotes from inside the Vatican with historical context to contrast Benedict’s theological and liturgical conservatism with Francis’s pastoral, reform-minded style, and to examine the implications for Church governance, media perception, and the future direction of global Catholicism.
