The Making of the Pope 2005 by Andrew M. GreeleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a fascinating diary from the the final days in 2004 of Pope Saint John Paul II to the election Benedict XVI as successor. Fa. Greeley has a reformist bent and calls out for a democratic papal election process as well as greater equality for women in the Catholic Church, including ordination as priests. His insider view of the convocation in Rome seasoned with his progressive criticisms made for entertaining reading.
