The Pope
Francis, Benedict, and the Decision that Shook the World
Anthony McCartenPostscript summary
In 2013 Pope Benedict XVI took the highly unusual step of resigning, even though he knew that his successor would be a radical opponent of his conservative legacy. McCarten, who wrote the 2019 film The Two Popes, delves into the backgrounds of both Benedict and Francis as he seeks an explanation for that unexpected announcement and discusses how the Church responded to having two living pontiffs.
