The Jesuit Disruptor: A Personal Portrait of Pope Francis
by Michael Higgins
– Hosted by Pastor Jason
A fresh look at a complex pope with a simple agenda: radically reforming the Catholic Church. In his determination to reform the Vatican and ensure the Catholic faith evolves in a way that is relevant to the 21st century, Francis is very much carrying on the tradition of the Jesuits, an order known for their work in education, humanitarian missions, and social justice. A deep understanding of the Jesuit order informs Michael W. Higgins’s approach in this novel reading of a papacy unlike any other.
