The Next Pope by Peter Hebblethwaite
In this exploration of the papal succession, Peter Hebblethwaite discusses the processes by which a new pope is chosen and looks at the implications for the decision on the successor to John Paul II. During this papacy the number of voting cardinals has been increased dramatically. There are, therefore, many more choices available, and a large percentage of these are now from the developing world. The nationality of the pope is a major issue and the author investigates the issues, explaining why the choice of a non-Italian could be a disaster. This revision includes a more extensive and updated look at the candidates, and includes photographs.
Peter Hebblethwaite wrote frequently for the Guardian, Independent and the Times Literary Supplement, and was the Vatican affairs correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter. He died in 1994. Revisions have been made by Margaret Hebblethwaite, who is a writer, theologian and assistant edtior of The Tablet.
