A new book has been released which sheds light on Pope Francis and his connection to a secret group of leftist cardinals which began to meet in the mid 1990s.
Edward Pentin hopes his book 'The Next Pope' will help a future conclave elect the cardinal 'most suitable to lead the Church in our tumultuous times.'
Robert Harris's new thriller is about papal intrigue and Vatican politics; it is also an example of how progressives envision the Catholic Church changing with the times.
