This book is the culmination of years of research and planning from sources in multiple languages and countries, and it includes: 

 

  • A complete biography of the first pope from the United States, including his family history, his work as an Augustinian priest, and his time later as a bishop and cardinal 
  • An investigation across diverse sources that reveals the ten issues closest to the heart of Robert Francis Prevost
  • The challenges and signs of hope facing Pope Leo XIV
  • The first global report on the state of the Catholic Church
