Book Synopsis



El perfil definitivo de León XIV, escrito por Elise Ann Allen, corresponsal en el Vaticano.

Una mirada lúcida al hombre detrás del nuevo papado

Aires de cónclave, humo blanco, un nuevo papa. ¿quién es Robert Prevost, el hombre que hoy es León XIV? ¿Cómo su trayectoria puede marcar su papado? ¿Qué rasgos personales lo llevaron a ser elegido pontífice en tiempos en los que la Iglesia católica se debatía entre continuar el legado de Francisco I o retroceder las reformas avanzadas por este? ¿Cómo se lazó como papa de manera abrumadoramente mayoritaria y qué puede significar?

La periodista Elise Ann Allen, corresponsal en Roma del prestigioso portal especializado en temas vaticanos Crux (y muy familiarizada con el caso Sodalicio en el Perú), esboza un detallado y agudo perfil del ser humano que ocupa hoy el sillón de Pedro: su infancia en Chicago, su temprana vocación, los valores que lo formaron como agustino, su larga y constante labor como misionero en América Latina y en especial en Perú, su marcado carácter de líder en diversas instancias de la Iglesia, su relación con su antecesor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, y su último tramo como cardenal y encargado del Dicasterio para los obispos en el Vaticano, que lo terminó de consagrar como un auténtico "ciudadano del mundo". Todas estas facetas tienen especial importancia para anticipar cómo podrá marcar el papado de León XIV a la Iglesia en un mundo polarizado y en constante cambio como el actual. ¿Qué continuidades, pero también qué diferencias, ya han empezado a manifestarse en su primeras semanas de pontificado?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The definite profile of Pope Leon XIV, written by Elise Ann Allen, Vatican correspondent.

A lucid view to the man behind the new papacy.

Winds of conclave, white smoke, a new Pope. Who is Robert Prevost, the man we now know as Leon XIV? How might his career mark his papacy? What personal traits led him to be elected pontiff in times when the Catholic Church is currently debating the continuation of Pope Francis' legacy or reverse the reforms promoted by him? How did he become Pope with such an overwhelming majority, and what could this mean?

Journalist Elise Ann Allen, Rome correspondent for the prestigious portal specialized in Vatican affairs, Crux (and very familiar with the Sodalicio case in Peru), draws a detailed and sharp profile of the human being now sitting on Saint Peter's chair: his childhood in Chicago; his early vocation; the values that formed him as Augustinian; his long and constant missionary work in Latin America, specially Peru; his marked leadership in several Church instances; his relationship with his predecessor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and his last stretch as cardinal, charged with the dicastery for bishops in the Vatican, which ultimately stablished him as an authentic "citizen of the world". All of these facets have special relevance in anticipation to how the papacy of Leon XIV will define the Church in the polarized, ever-changing world we live in today. What continuities, but also differences, have already started to show in the first few weeks of his papacy?
