The two popes : Francis, Benedict and the decision that shook the world

McCarten, Anthony2019
Books
On 28 February 2013, a 600-year-old tradition was shattered: the conservative Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement. He would resign. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice? Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,200 years, a one-time tango club bouncer, a passionate football fan and a man with the common touch.
