N2  - For more than twenty-five years, journalist John Thavis reported on the inner workings of the Vatican for the Catholic News Service. Thavis reveals Vatican City as a place struggling to define itself in the face of internal and external threats, where Curia cardinals fight private wars and sexual abuse scandals threaten to undermine papal authority. Thavis also takes readers through the politicking behind the election of Pope Francis and what we might expect from his papacy
