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

McCarten, Anthony, 1961-2019
Books
In February 2013, a 600-year-old tradition was shattered: the conservative Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice was 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. From the prize-winning screenwriter of 'The Theory of Everything' and 'Darkest Hour', 'The Pope' is a fascinating and revealing tale of two very different men whose destinies converge.
