The Jesuit Disruptor (English, Michael Higgins)

Product description Review "A tantalizing read of Pope Francis's revolutionary papacy ...Quirky, quizzical, and even occasionally quixotic, Higgins's approach is accessible and the style entertaining." -- James Martin, SJ, author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything"An engaging read." -- Susan K. Wood, Professor of Systematic Theology, Toronto School of Theology at the University of Toronto"Filled with vignettes and details revealing Higgins's insider view of life at the Vatican, [The Jesuit Disruptor] often has the friendly and joyous feel of someone talking about a dear friend." -- Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW"A thorough and erudite discussion of this turbulent moment for the Catholic Church." -- Literary Review of Canada"The Jesuit Disruptor serves as a robust counterbalance to the biographies critical of the Argentinian pontiff ...

A creative and personalized sense of Francis' vision for Catholics and for the world." -- Winnipeg Free Press About the Author MICHAEL W.
