Description
There is no other organization whose inner workings are more secretive than the Vatican. Now, with a dynamic new leader in Pope Francis, all eyes are upon him as he seeks to bring the church back from the right to center, blurring the lines between politics, religion and culture. Allen reveals the inner workings of the Vatican to display the vast machinery of the Catholic Church, and an examination of the man at the helm.
Description
Describes how Pope Francis is steering the Catholic Church to a politically moderate position, tackling such long-avoided topics as homosexuality, the role of women in the Church, the Vatican's finances, and sexual abuse scandals.
