Description:
On the day of her husband's funeral in December 1994, Margaret Hebblethwaite received the advance copies of his final book, The Next Pope, in which Peter Hebblethwaite critiques John Paul II's papacy and speculates on who might step into his shoes. Since 1995 the original contenders have aged and younger cardinals have moved into the lineup. Accordingly, Margaret Hebblethwaite, until recently the assistant editor of the The Tablet, updated and revised her husband's book. She takes readers through the ancient ceremonies that accompany the death of a pope and discusses John Paul's new rules for the conclave, which will elect his successor. In an expanded second section, Hebblethwaite looks at the hundred or so cardinals from all corners of the globe who could occupy the throne of St. Peter. Hebblethwaite is a liberal Catholic, and sometimes her politically correct preferences color her comments too much, but she has done her homework, and the result is a book in which solid research is presented in a punchy and readable journalistic style. --Dwight Longenecker, Amazon.co.uk
