WOUNDED SHEPHERD
Pope Francis and His Struggle to Convert the Catholic Church
WOUNDED SHEPHERD is the authoritative inside story of the far-reaching changes in the Catholic Church under history's first New World pope, and the tensions and conflicts it provokes in the world's oldest institution and largest religious denomination. It is a portrait of the man at the heart of this revolution, an iconic leader who has become a moral touchstone for a world in crisis.
Austen Ivereigh, the Pope's authoritative biographer, has drawn on hours of interviews with some of Francis's closest collaborators, as well as a large number of the most influential leaders of the Catholic Church across the world, to paint an unprecedented picture of the papacy's inner workings. Moving deftly between intimate accounts of the inner workings of Team Francis, the past experiences and writings of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and a long-lens historical view of the tectonic shifts in the Church which the Francis papacy has let loose, WOUNDED SHEPHERD examines and evaluates the different forces and pressures at work, and asks the question on everyone's lips: can he succeed?
Austen Ivereigh is a British writer, journalist, and commentator on religious and political affairs who holds a PhD from Oxford University. His previous books include The Great Reformer and Unfinished Journey: The Church 40 Years After Vatican 2. His work appears regularly in the Jesuit magazine America and in many other periodicals. He is well known on British media as a Catholic commentator, especially on the BBC, Sky, ITV, and Al-Jazeera.
