The Paths of Francis

Francesco, la via maestra [Francis: The High Road], San Paolo, by Stefania Falasca is a clear-sighted and passionate journey through the heart of Pope Francis’ magisterium. With both expertise and sensitivity, the author, who is a Vatican journalist and friend of the Pope, sheds light on the key directions of his pontificate: a return to the Gospel, synodality, mercy, care for the poor, interreligious dialogue, and ecumenism. The Pope emerges as a true son of the Council, who is faithful to the living tradition and guided by the Spirit, in his pursuit of a Church close to humanity and capable of inspiring hope.
