Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope

     "We have a Pope! And his name is Leo XIV. But who is this American-born 266th successor to St. Peter? What is the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost's vision for the Church, and what impact will his papacy have on Catholics and on the world? Renowned Vatican journalist Dr. Matthew Bunson offers the first authoritative portrait of the new Holy Father. With unmatched access and a reputation for integrity and insight, Bunson delivers a compelling, richly textured narrative of the new pope's life, beliefs, and most improbable journey to the Chair of St. Peter.  The first definitive biography available to readers worldwide. Accessible, informative, and rooted in journalistic rigor and an intimate understanding of the Church, Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the man inside the white cassock -- and the moment in which he will reign." --
