Testimonials
Fr. Antonio Spadaro, SJ, editor-in-chief of La Civilta Cattolicá
“Reading this book, one understands how Ignatius of Loyola’s words are true for Pope Francis: ‘it is not much knowledge that fills and satisfies the soul but feeling and tasting inward.’ Discovering Pope Francis testifies that, as for Dostoevsky, Bergoglio’s logic is not rigidly algebraic: it is flexible, elastic, alive. It never loses sight of the human. Many of these pages show how his way of thinking liberates the energy needed for the evangelical logos that balances a deep connection and strong engagement to the theological and ecclesial traditions of the Church, as well as a deep commitment to reality and all its challenges and complexity.”
Most Reverend José
H. Gomez Archbishop of Los Angeles
“Pope Francis has said that ours is not an age of change, but a change of age. In this important collection, we see how the Holy Father is drawing creatively from a range of thinkers and movements-European and Latin American-to bring the people of this age to a new encounter with Jesus Christ and the mercy of God. May these fine essays inspire deeper reflection on the Church’s evangelical imperative and the urgency of our calling to be missionary disciples in these times.”
Emilce Cuda, Argentinian theologian and author of Para leer a Francisco. Teologia, etica y politica and Catolicismo y Democracia en Estados Unidos
“This work is certainly an excellent interpretation of the ‘Theology of the People,’ from different people, and for all the people. It is an effective demonstration of a true sign of the times: the catholicity of the theological pastoral message of Pope Francis. The point of view of each one of the authors is the incarnation of his missionary imprint and a sign of an outgoing Church.”
