Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, Brookland, presents Marco Politi as he discusses his new book Pope Francis Among the Wolves: The Inside Story of a Revolution.
Now with il Fatto Quotidiano, Politi is the former Vatican correspondent for La Repubblica and has gained international recognition over the last four decades as an expert on the Papacy with his journalism and his book-length studies of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. His new book illuminates the complex power dynamics among the Roman Curia that led to the surprise election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, surveys the scandals rocking the Church in recent years, and outlines the pressing issues facing Pope Francis.
