'If you wish to understand Pope Francis, read this book.' - Father Thomas Rosica, Salt and Light Catholic Media FoundationPope Francis is the most talked-about and most revolutionary pope in living memory. With his rejection of papal pomp, focus on the poor, and fearless critiques of injustice and corruption, he has captivated the world.The Great Reformer is an intimate, in-depth biography of Pope Francis. Drawing on extensive interviews in Argentina and other countries, it traces the roots of his papacy in his childhood in Buenos Aires, in his Jesuit training, and in the dramatic events during the Peron era and the military government in Argentina in the 1970s. It shows how these experiences have shaped his beliefs, and enabled him to challenge and redirect the Church.Pope Francis was elected in the midst of one of the biggest crises in the Church in modern times. This is the story of a true radical who is transforming the Church by restoring what it has lost.'This is a great read about a man who's exploded into our consciousness, whom we're yet to really know but whom we sense may offer precious revitalisation for our bruised Church.' - Geraldine Doogue'a richly researched, artfully constructed and consistently compelling account of a remarkably complex and controversial life' - Times Literary Supplement
