LEO XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope was one of two books on the new pope that was featured by Publishers Weekly Magazine! Veteran Catholic journalist & historian Dr. Matthew Bunson. It delivers first authoritative book on our new Holy Father
With unmatched access and a reputation for integrity and insight, Dr. Bunson delivers a compelling, richly textured narrative of the new pope's life, background, beliefs, and most improbable journey to the Chair of St. Peter.
Accessible, informative, and rooted in journalistic rigor and an intimate understanding of the Church, LEO XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the man inside the white cassock—and the moment in which he will reign.
This engrossing look at his life and service to the Church thus far provides an assessment of his three fundamental roles as a successor to the apostles: his sanctifying role as a priest, his governing role as a bishop, and his prophetic role as a teacher and missionary.. It also looks at what is the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost's vision for the Church, and what impact will his papacy have on Catholics and on the world.
Dr. Bunson lays out the views of His Holiness on the moral and theological issues currently being debated in the Church and public arena, offering the informed, balanced, accurate picture of our new Holy Father that the world has been waiting for.
