Inside the Jesuits: How Pope Francis is Changing the Church and the World
The main thesis of this book is that Pope Francis’s Jesuit DNA is central to understanding how he has captured the world’s attention since his election in 2013 following the shock abdication of Benedict XVI. As the first Jesuit Pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio has captivated many Catholics (and others) by abandoning the trappings of a monarchical papacy and committing himself to a Church that is “poor and for the poor”.
It was clear, even from his choice of name after his election, that Francis was going to be a breath of fresh air.
