This book looks behind the scenes at how the next pope will be chosen and examines the future of the Catholic Church. Thoroughly revised, Margaret Hebblethwaite updates the profiles of the top candidates - including two Africans, a Jesuit, and a Jewish convert - and outlines the course likely to be taken by the 263rd pontiff. The authors examine the trends that shaped previous papal elections and they address the issues certain to influence the next conclave’s decision, including the ordination of women and the question of married priests. Here is an engaging and informative account of what happens during the notoriously mystery-shrouded process. The next pope’s agenda will affect the lives of more than a billion Catholics worldwide and influence international politics and culture well into the 21st century. The author Peter Hebblethwaite was a widely respected commentator and journalist who covered trends and events in the Catholic Church. Margaret Hebblethwaite shares her husband’s expertise on today’s Catholic Church and is the Vatican reporter for the British magazine The Tablet. She will visit Australia in July 2000. |
