Who would ever imagine the humanitarian crisis on our
southern border would have anything to do with the indigenous tribes in
Brazil. I would never have connected
those dots until I read the newly published English translation of Pope
Francis’s Paradigm Shift, Continuity or Rupture in the Mission of the Church?
by Jose Antonio Ureta. This is “An
Assessment of His Pontificate’s First Five Years.”
I’ve read two other books on Pope Francis that have been
informative, but neither comes close to the quantity and quality of direct
quotes and scholarly detail in concise text and extended footnote
explanations. The book is only 172 pages
long and some pages are only half text.
(The other half taken up in footnotes with source information including
many useful links to You Tube that you might never otherwise find on your own.) This small book should be in everyone’s
reading range. It is available now on
Amazon in print. When I first saw it
mentioned there was a reference to an online PDF, but I went straight for the hardcopy. You can access the book online in three
languages. For English, go to: http://www.tfp.org/paradigm-shift-a-critical-assessment-of-the-francis-pontificate/ If you
click this link and read even the 8 page introduction you will be STUNNED. I finished the whole thing in three
days. Very hard to put it down.
