Review by: nanibev
This book starts with a history of the papacy, highlighting the actions of
several of the most influential Popes.
It then provides a study of the life
and career of Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli prior to his election as the 258th
leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Cahill presents a study of the papacy of
John, the kind of Pope he was, his plans and dreams for the ecumenical council
that he called, and what happened after his death.
John XXlll's life and
papacy are truly an inspiration and source of hope for the future.
So worth
reading.
