Reviews
Thomas Massaro, SJ, is one of the world's great experts, and great explainers, of the church's social teaching. As a Jesuit, he is also someone with a deep knowledge of what lies behind Pope Francis's words and deeds-especially as they relate to issues of economic justice, labor, ecology, family life, advocacy for the marginalized, and peacemaking. Father Massaro's tremendous knowledge of Catholic social teaching together with his profound appreciation for Jesuit spirituality have combined to make a superb book. It's accessible, inviting and, most of all, wise. -- James Martin, SJ, author of In Good Company and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything

Thomas Massaro brilliantly shows how Pope Francis takes that teaching to an entirely new level, drawing on the power of `trickle-up' wisdom and commitment, not just pronouncements from above. If you think Catholic social teaching is great but predictable and not very effective, read this book for inspiration. -- Lisa Cahill, J. Donald Monan Professor of Theology, Boston College
