The Next Pope

In "The Church in Transition," Catholic theologian George Weigel explores the impending shift within the Catholic Church as it prepares for a new pope, likely shaped by a generation that did not experience the Second Vatican Council. Weigel reflects on the legacies of Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis, highlighting key challenges the Church faces in the twenty-first century. Through insights from personal discussions and his global perspective, he outlines the essential qualities and responsibilities the next pontiff must embrace to guide the Church amid evolving spiritual and cultural landscapes.
