Political Pope

The untold story of the left's efforts to politicize the Vatican and the battle to stop it-before the Catholic Church as we know it is destroyed. Although Pope Francis is beloved by many, some conservative Catholics believe that the Pope, who was educated in socialist Argentina, embraces many of the policies and rhetoric of the hard left. George Neumayr argues that, for many centuries, the left has worked to undermine the Catholic Church, perhaps the most powerful conservative institution in the world. Only a few decades ago, in fact, American spymasters undertook one of the biggest operations of the Cold War to prevent the Church from becoming a tool of radical left. Now, only decades later, the radical left has succeeded at the highest level of the Church. This book is the untold story of the left's effort to enlist the Vatican in its global world order - and the battle to stop it. The stakes are enormous - because the Pope is not just a symbol for Catholics, but a symbol of morality and justice to billions across the world. In Pope Francis, the left has found a pope who emboldens the Church's enemies and undercuts its friends, a pope who propagandizes for the Western elite's most cherished causes while eroding the deposit of faith. He is, as they once said of Barack Obama, "the one they have been waiting for."
