When The White Smoke Clears
$17.99
What does it mean to have a new pope? In an historic time for the Church, the election of a new Holy Father invites Catholics to return to the heart of the papacy-its biblical foundation, its spiritual authority, the hope it brings us, and our shared responsibility to pray for the pope as our universal pastor.
This timely and accessible book offers three key reflections:
*What the Church teaches about the office of the pope and why it matters
*Who Pope Leo XIV is, and what his early words and actions reveal
*How we can faithfully support Pope Leo XIV through prayer, fasting, and attentiveness to his teaching
With contributions from trusted Catholic voices-Fr. Mike Schmitz, Jeff Cavins, Dr. Edward Sri, Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Fr. Josh Johnson, Katie Prejean McGrady, and more-When the White Smoke Clears grounds readers in Church teaching and calls them to a mature, prayerful posture toward our new Holy Father Pope Leo XIV.
Includes an appendix of traditional and contemporary prayers for the Holy Father.
