Vatican politics

[Root of Jesse]

I see that most of the books in this section are faith oriented, and I usually stick to those as well. But I have read a new book on Kindle about the politics in the Vatican at the current time. The book is critical of Pope Francis, but that's not where I feel the focus lies. Politics, as we can see in the world, is ugly. The politics of the Vatican is also ugly. And worldly. The book talks about the election of Francis, the anti-JPII/Benedict XVI coalition that tried to get Cardinal Bergolio into office over Benedict XVI, the Vatican Bank scandal, and the way the sex abuse scandal has been handled, among other things. I recommend reading this book, just to get a glimpse of inside the Vatican.
