Winner of the ⭐ILLUMINATION BOOK AWARD - Gold, Catholic Studies ⭐Association of Catholic Publishers Excellence Award 3rd Place, General Interest "An engrossing, well-researched chronicle of the conclave that brought a new tone and direction to the Catholic Church."-- Publishers Weekly The selection of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires in the papal election of 2013 made history in several ways: he was the first Latin American, the first Jesuit, and the first pope to choose the name Francis. But these "firsts" were only the beginning of a consequential papacy of historic proportions. Entering the conclave of 2013, Cardinal Bergoglio appeared on few lists of likely candidates. How then did his election come about? Written by a top Vatican journalist, this book is an inside, day-by-day account of the process that began with Pope Benedict XVI's surprising decision to retire and continued up to Pope Francis's election and installation. Gerard O'Connell and his wife--herself a Vatican correspondent from Argentina--had befriended Bergoglio years before and were among the very few journalists who predicted his election. Now, relying on extensive inside sources, he reveals the basis for that confidence and shares with us what actually happened inside the secret conclave. Inside the Conclave that Changed History From the surprise resignation of Pope Benedict XVI through the installation of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis this is a story only a seasoned Vatican correspondent could tell. The Election of Pope Francis includes intriguing background and exclusive insights into * What actually happens when a conclave occurs a mere five years after the previous one, with a still-living Pope. * Details and history of the procedures both prior to, during, and after the conclave * Deft portraits of Vatican officials, Cardinals and delegations from around the world * The 'lobbying' around certain electors, particularly those from North America * Actual vote counts for each round of the secret ballots * How the church and the world greeted the first Pope from the Americas
