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 WeeklyThe 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? > 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
