The Theological, Ethical and Spiritual Legacy of John Paul II and Benedict XVI in the Francis Papacy

John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Jeremiah Barker argues, share the theological, ethical, and spiritual core of Pope Francis’ social teaching. Reappropriating R.R. Reno’s redemption of Francis’ cogent argument, Barker draws out the underlying rationale of Francis’ message, which he argues is identical to the two previous popes. Inspired by Francis’ call and teaching, Barker’s compelling argument is an opportunity to reconsider the legacies of John Paul II and Benedict XVI in the light of contemporary Catholic debates and challenges. A unique and refreshing analysis, Barker’s argument is relevant for any Catholic seeking to make sense of these popes’ messages.
