- Summary:
- "In his latest book, Antonio Spadaro, SJ, describes Pope Francis's Gospel-based and prophetic understanding of international politics, as well as the Pope's view on the role of the papacy and the Vatican in advocating for peace, economic justice, and democracy. The first part of the book analyzes the Pope's many interviews and his major statements on international affairs, while the second half of the book examines some of the key regions in the world from Francis's point of view, including Europe, China, the Amazon, and the Arab World. Throughout the book, we see how Pope Francis's call for religious leaders to advance the fraternity of humankind and his efforts at peacemaking around the globe played a major role in establishing the Vatican's soft power and the salience of issues important to the Pope and to his legacy"-- Provided by publisher.
