The Pope in Winter

The Late John Paul II was portrayed by admirers as one of history's great popes. But in The Pope in Winter, leading Vatican expert John Cornwell seriously questions the workings of his papacy and points to fundamental flaws - exacerbated by age and infirmity - that have alarming consequences for both the Catholic Church's future and John Paul II's successor.

Reviews

It is not too much to say that Professor Cohn has revolutionised the study of the subject - It is a brilliant book.

—— Bernard Levin , Observer

An indispensable study.

—— Robin Lane Fox , Financial Times

This is a book of real stature which I hope will have a side impact. Only if we begin to understand the horrifying recesses of the human imagination can we prevent the recurrences of those dreadful, irrational persecutions which have so disfigured human history.

—— Anthony Storr

Stunning

—— Financial Times

A generous and sensitive road map to not-so-random acts of kindness

—— Publishers Weekly

His Holiness speaks with wisdom and practicality on the full range of human problems

—— Pride Magazine
