Un pape allemand découvre que son majordome le trahit. De hauts prélats sont accusés de pédophilie. Dans la vieille Europe, les vocations se raréfient. Les églises y sont plus nombreuses que les prêtres. La sécularisation progresse: les croyants commencent à être mal tolérés et discriminés. C'est dans ce contexte que l'impensable se produit. Le matin du 11 février, Benoît XVI annonce sa démission. L'Église et le monde plongent dans l'effroi. Si même le pape démissionne, c'est la fin du monde ! Les cardinaux arrivent à Rome pour un des conclaves les plus compliqués de l'histoire. Le 13 mars, Jorge Mario Bergoglio se présente à la loggia de la Basilique Saint-Pierre: argentin, fils d'immigrés italiens, premier pape d'Amérique latine, premier pape jésuite, il est aussi le premier pape à choisir le nom de François. Il est humble, simple, spirituel. Il parle peu mais ses paroles et ses gestes touchent les coeurs. Il vit dans une chambre d'hôtel et célèbre la messe avec des employés du Vatican, des jardiniers et des fonctionnaires. Il prend le petit-déjeuner, le déjeuner et le dîner à table avec ceux qui sont là. Vêtu d'une simple soutane blanche, il caresse et console les personnes handicapées ou souffrantes. Aux puissants de ce monde, il explique que le véritable pouvoir réside dans le service; aux cardinaux, il précise que le pire des maux qui puisse arriver à l'Église est la mondanité spirituelle, l'autoréférence et le narcissisme théologique. Aux prêtres, il dit que le bon pasteur a l'odeur de ses brebis . Il se présente aux patriarches des autres confessions chrétiennes comme le serviteur des serviteurs, l'évêque de Rome avec le primat de la charité. On accourt, on vient du monde entier pour l'écouter et le rencontrer. Tel un cyclone, il est en train de marquer l'histoire de l'Église et du monde. (...) Le reste est à découvrir dans ce livre. Bonne lecture !
