What are the roots of his \"diplomacy of mercy\"? How does a desire for mediation align with his vigorous denunciation of today's evils? And what specifically characterized the gestures and words of this pope who \"came from the ends of the Earth\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Diplomacy of Pope Francis, Antonio Spadaro, SJ, highlights Pope Francis's geopolitical approach. Spadaro draws from personal interviews, official documents, and the pope's numerous cultural and intellectual references to reconstruct a map of Francis's actions through apostolic journeys, synodal events, and the Holy See's international policies. The result is an analysis of the achievements, orientations, and ongoing challenges that shaped Francis's legacy: the commitment to a new humanism in Europe, efforts to end conflicts and the tragedy of migrants, interreligious and international dialogues, the experience of the first global pandemic in the digital age, and attention to regions marked by sharp political contradictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the Church, of the global challenges it faces, and of the pope who sought Christ at the center of the relations between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Spadaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647127122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647127121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs","brand":"Antonio Spadaro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460250710271,"sku":"9781647127121","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25beff6c-2660-449d-948d-54da46d64dcb.jpg?v=1777413525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-diplomacy-of-pope-francis-antonio-spadaro-9781647127121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
