From his first appearance on a Vatican balcony Pope Francis proved himself a Pope of Surprises. With a series of potent gestures history's first Jesuit pope declared a mission to restore authenticity & integrity to a Catholic Church bedevilled by sex abuse & secrecy intrigue & in-fighting ambition & arrogance. He declared it should be 'a poor Church for the poor'. But there is a hidden past to this modest man with the winning smile. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was previously a bitterly divisive figure. His decade as leader of Argentina's Jesuits left the religious order deeply split. & his behaviour during Argentina's Dirty War when military death squads snatched innocent people from the streets raised serious questions
- on which this book casts new light. Yet something dramatic then happened to Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He underwent an extraordinary transformation. After a time of exile he re-emerged having turned from a conservative authoritarian into a humble friend of the poor
- & became Bishop of the Slums making enemies among Argentina's political classes in the process. For Pope Francis
- Untying the Knots Paul Vallely travelled to Argentina & Rome to meet Bergoglio's intimates over the last four decades. His book charts a remarkable journey. It reveals what changed the man who was to become Pope Francis
- from a reactionary into the revolutionary who is unnerving Rome's clerical careerists with the extent of his behind-the-scenes changes. In this perceptive portrait Paul Vallely offers both new evidence & penetrating insights into the kind of pope Francis could become.

John Julius Norwich examines the oldest continuing institution in the world tracing the papal line down the centuries from St Peter (traditionally
- but by no means historically
- the first Pope) to the present. Of the 280-odd holders of the supreme office some have unquestionably been saints; others have wallowed in unspeakable iniquity. One was said to have been a woman her sex being revealed only when she improvidently gave birth to a baby during a papal procession. Almost as shocking was Formosus whose murdered corpse was exhumed clothed in pontifical vestments propped up on a throne & subjected to trial. From the glories of Byzantium to the decay of Rome from the Albigensian Heresy to controversy within the Church today The Popes is superbly written witty & revealing.
