 About the Event
and the Book:
The election of a pope is by its very nature an historic and seismic event. And whether Pope Francis continues to serve as Roman pontiff for a year or a dozen, the most influential and widely recognized moral and religious office in the world will eventually have a new occupant.
On June 24, 2020, at 8:15pm Rome time/2:15pm EST, respected Catholic experts will discuss the cardinals most likely to succeed Pope Francis, as highlighted in the forthcoming book, The Next Pope: The Leading Cardinal Candidates, by Edward Pentin.
The Rome correspondent for the National Catholic Register, Pentin made a startling observation during his 17 years of covering the Vatican: Prospective candidates for the papacy are not only largely unknown outside the Vatican walls, but even the cardinal-electors themselves may know little about them, including their essential characters and beliefs.
The Next Pope: The Leading Cardinal Candidates therefore aims to help fill that gap. Pentin details the backgrounds of the 19 leading candidates for the papacy.
Collaborating with an international team of respected scholars and drawing on his years of experience, Pentin provides biographical and critical aspects of each candidate’s ecclesiastical life. He then assesses how each man has fulfilled his three fundamental roles as successor to the Apostles: his sanctifying role as priest, his governing role as bishop and his prophetic role as teacher.
With The Next Pope: The Leading Cardinal Candidates, Pentin launches a public discussion on the future of the Catholic Church and the essential qualities of any man who should rise to become its leader.
