The Liminal Papacy of Pope Francis by Massimo Faggioli
An expert on the papacy and Vatican I, Massimo Faggioli draws from world history, politics, papal biographies, and the documents of Vatican I for this incisive analysis of Francis's developing pontificate. He notes that Francis's is a liminal papacy, one that gives attention to the poor, to the peripheries, and to relations between the Vatican and other religions, with an emphasis on synodality and on the Church as the people of God. He also contrasts Francis with his immediate predecessor Benedict XVI and John Paul I, and shows his similarities with the spirit of John XI, the architect of Vatican I.
