The Next Pope
George Weigel

"The next pope must be, above all, a radically converted disciple: a man formed in the depth of his being by the conviction that Jesus Christ is the incarnate Son of God, who reveals to the world the face of God the merciful Father and the truth about humanity, its dignity, and its destiny."

George Weigel, The Next Pope

"In the 21st-century world, the pope matters: and not only to Catholics but to world leaders, Christians, Jews, and people of all faiths and none."

George Weigel, The Next Pope
