The Good Pope is the first major biography of Pope John XXIII, a universally beloved religious leader who ushered in an era of hope and openness in the Catholic Church—and whose reforms, had they been accepted, would have enabled the church to avoid many of the major crises it faces today. This timely and important book offers a fascinating look at the legacy of the Second Vatican Council, an insightful investigation into the history of the Catholic Church, and a celebration of one of its true heroes.
