It is with large joy that we put into the hands of Readers an crucial and awaited book – an extensive, illustrated Polish biography of the fresh Pope Leon XIV!
When a small over a period ago from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica was named Robert Prevost, many of us heard it for the first time in their lives. Who is the fresh Pope, what is he, what is crucial to him?
The challenges of answering these questions were addressed by Dr. Adam Sosnowski, who not only participated – as a writer and an observer – in this year's conclave, but conducted many talks, studies, analysis of archival materials and papers to meet Fr. Provost and bring his figure closer to Polish Readers.
As a consequence of his work, a book was created that shows us the way of Robert Prevost from the parish in Chicago through the mediocre neighborhoods of Peru to the Vatican. Many of the material presented in the book is first published! Here we will find many quotes, homilies and another statements of the present pope, which point to his extraordinary personality, as well as stories of fellow brothers, co-workers, parishioners, students or friends of Leon XIV from various stages of life.
The communicative of Leon XIV besides takes place in the illustration layer – from the photographs of Robert Prevost's childhood and youth, through his pastoralization in the Andes, to the conclave itself and the election as pope, in which the author of excellent photographs, Michał Klag, participated together with Adam Sosnowski.
Will Leon XIV always want to visit Poland? We will find out about this, but we know for certain that Fr Provost was already in Poland – respective times! These visits are devoted to a separate chapter of the book, besides illustrated by unique photographs.
For many, the name of the fresh Pope is besides a mystery, since we are more than a century apart from the erstwhile successor of St Peter, who chose them as his. And this question is answered by the book prepared by us, due to the fact that its integral part is the communicative of Fr.Prof. Janusz Królikowski about all popes bearing the name Leon, who have led the Church so far. And this is an crucial issue, due to the fact that Leon XIV gladly reminds of his predecessor, Leon XIII, author of specified an crucial encyclical Rerum novarum, and the relics of Leon the large were placed in his fresh pectoral.
