Through battles with corrupt bankers and worldly cardinals, in turbulent meetings and on global trips, Pope Francis has attempted to reshape the Church to evangelize the contemporary age. At the same time, he has stirred other leaders' deep-seated fear that the Church is capitulating to modernity—leaders who have challenged his bid to create a more welcoming, attentive institution. Facing rebellions over his allowing sacraments for the divorced and his attempt to create a more "ecological" Catholicism, as well as a firestorm of criticism for the Church's record on sexual abuse, the Francis that emerges in Austen Ivereigh's profile is a leader of remarkable vision and tenacity with an all-encompassing spiritual focus.
