A rare firsthand account of the three popes who worked to modernize the Catholic Churchand to evangelize the modern worldfrom a renowned international lawyer, Harvard law professor, and former ambassador to the VaticanMary Ann Glendons book joyfully, and with humility, brings us inside her deft, gracefilled, and brilliant public diplomacy career.Mike Pompeo, former U.S. secretary of stateFor twenty centuries, the Catholic Church has radically shaped world historyand survived it. In the decades following the Second Vatican Council, three popes have carried forward this legacy, striving to lead the Church and its governing bodythe last absolute monarchy of the Westinto the modern world.With In the Courts of Three Popes, accomplished diplomat, international lawyer, and Harvard professor Mary Ann Glendon gives readers a rare inside look at the papacies of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. She shares her role in key developments in the Churchs recent history, like the Church entering the third millennium, in Pope John Paul IIs words, on its knees in penance for failures such as clergy sex abuse, or in leading the way for lay women to hold positions of power in the Church. Glendon illuminates the issues vexing the Church today: the place of faith in secular politics, relating the Church to other religions, clericalism and the power of laypeople, and corruption at the Vatican Bank and within the Roman Curia.Glendon provides a oneofakind analysis of the inner workings of the Holy See, showing readers that, despite its many failings, the Catholic Church is a living, breathing community. Behind the Churchs doctrines and policies and institutions lie people, personalities, aspirations, and relationships that still promise to transform lives.
