In Leo XIV: Builder of Bridges, Michael Collins recounts Robert Prevost’s quiet path to the papacy, from his first encounter with liberation theology in Latin America to his disagreements with the corrupt Peruvian government. Collins reveals the behind-the-scenes maneuvers which led to Prevost’s surprise election, usurping the favourite, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the first months as Pope Leo took the mantel of Pope Francis and began to model the papacy in a new direction, seeking to reconcile belligerent countries and resolve tensions within the Catholic Church.
Introducing the reader to this new pope, Collins reveals the signs of a pontificate which will shape the Church in the coming years.
