As compelling a figure as is Pope Francis I, the Roman Catholic
Church's new Argentine Jesuit pope, many seem to have forgotten what
things were like in the early days of Polish Pope John Paul II, who
shook up the papacy dramatically and stirred waves of widespread
interest.
Louis Moore's Witness to the Truth, published by Hannibal Books, includes a fascinating up-close look at John Paul's early days in the Vatican. Moore, religion editor of the Houston Chronicle
for more than 14 years, writes about John Paul's election and early
trips to Mexico, the U.S., Canada, and the Dominican Republic as well
as his historic Extraordinary Synod in 1985 to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of Vatican Council II.
The book includes an
inside look not only at Roman Catholics today but also views of
Southern Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and other
denominations as well as modern-day Judaism and Muslims, Buddhists, and
Hindus in America.
