OverviewShedding light into the darkest corners of the Catholic Church and revealing some of the most mysterious and controversial aspects of the institution, Jorge Blaschke describes the greatest challenges facing the new pope Francis as he strives to usher in an era of openness and reconciliation with the non-Christian world. The author begins by examining the possible reasons for the unexpected resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the sequence of events that led to Jorge Mario Bergoglio's ascension to the most powerful seat in Christendom. Bergoglio's own history--including the role he played in Argentina during the dictatorship--is analyzed, and controversies such as the Vati Leaks uproar and the resignation for sexual misconduct of Scottish cardinal Keith O'Brien are discussed as Blaschke paints a portrait of the serious obstacles that threaten to derail the best intentions of Rome's latest pontiff. Arrojando luz en las esquinas más oscuras de la Iglesia católica y revelando algunos de los aspectos más misteriosos y controversiales de la institución, Jorge Blaschke describe los más grandes desafíos a los que se tendrá que enfrentar el nuevo papa Francisco mientras intenta abrir paso a una nueva era de franqueza y reconciliación con el mundo no cristiano. El autor comienza por examinar los posibles motivos detrás de la renuncia del Papa Benedicto XVI y la sucesión de acontecimientos que impulsaron la ascensión de Jorge Mario Bergoglio al puesto más importante del cristianismo. Se analiza la historia del propio Bergoglio--incluyendo el papel que jugó durante la dictadura argentina--y se discuten controversias como la polémica de Vati Leaks y la dimisión por mala conducta sexual del cardenal escocés Keith O'Brien mientras Blaschke presenta un retrato de los serios obstáculos que amenazan con dar al traste las mejores intenciones del último pontífice de Roma.
