But who is this soft-spoken American who assumes the role of pope at a time of extraordinary global turbulence? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In electing Leo XIV, the College of Cardinals broke with conventional wisdom that the Catholic Church could never be led by an American. In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Hope\u003c\/i\u003e CNN Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb explores what the election of Pope Leo - a peacemaker figure and determined reformer - means not just for the Catholic Church but for the world. Setting his role in the context of previous popes who have had a powerful influence on global events, Lamb provides insight to the themes that will dominate Leo's papacy - from providing a spiritual counterweight to Donald Trump and a challenge to MAGA populism, to giving greater roles to women in the Catholic Church. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Leo takes charge at a moment of renewed interest in Catholicism amongst Gen Z and an ongoing battle between conservatives and progressives within the church, sparked by Pope Francis' reforms. The first US-born pope is set to make a deep impact on the church at a transformative moment in its history, and present a gentle, but firm, message to the world's most powerful leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Lamb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1035440571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035440573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hachette Mobius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Christopher Lamb","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965512106239,"sku":"9781035440573","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bee9e3c-73ce-439d-8451-a0056f9595e4.jpg?v=1767281067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-hope-christopher-lamb-9781035440573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
