"A veritable war is waging in the Church: on one side, there is Pope Francis’s strong message for one church of the poor and all; on the other, there is the old Curia with its endless enemies, and the old and new lobbies struggling to preserve their not-so-Christian privileges. The old guard are ready to use all means necessary to stay in control and continue the immoral way they conduct their business. They resist reforms sought by Pope Francis and seek to delegitimize their opponents. It's a war that will determi'e the future of the church. And if he loses the battle against secular interests and blackmail, Pope Francis could resign, much like his predecessor. Based on documents from inside the Vatican, and transcripts of Pope Francis’s admonishments to the papal court about the lack of financial oversight and responsibility, this book illustrates all the undercover work conducted by the Pope since his election and shows the reader who his real enemies are"--Provided by publisher.
