When the jolly Italian peasant-turned-cardinal Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli of Venice was elected Pope John XXIII in 1958, change was in the air. The Church, many said, had refused to enter the twentieth century. In response, Pope John launched Vatican II, an “ecumenical council” that summoned hundreds of church leaders to Rome. It marked one of the most progressive turns the Church had taken in centuries: “medicine of mercy,” as Pope John called it. Yet not everyone in the Church was prepared to accept this modernization.

Very informative
Revisado: 03-06-25
This book is one of the most informative about the last seven popes for the general audience. It shows detailed connections among those living in the same decades. I especially appreciated learning about the on and off relationship between Hans Kung and Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) throughout their lives. I am not sure why Richard Cohen was chosen as a narrator. I just think the ponderousness of such a voice was distracting. I have no problem with his British accent, but I would think the narrator should reflect the author. Philip Shenon is a native of San Francisco and now lives in Washington DC.
