{"product_id":"the-two-popes-anthony-mccarten","title":"The Two Popes Book- Anthony Mccarten","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn 28 February 2013, a 600-year-old tradition was shattered- Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement. He would resign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis story begins with the death of John Paul, through Benedict's election and reign - taking in the controversies that blighted the world's largest church - to his subsequent and shocking resignation. We see white smoke from the Sistine Chapel and a reluctant successor who breaks with tradition at once, declaring, \u003ci\u003eI am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.\u003c\/i\u003e Francis returns inside, invites the cardinals to join him, and serves them ice-cream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the prize-winning screenwriter of \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Everything\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDarkest Hour\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Pope\u003c\/i\u003e is a poignant and often funny tale of an odd couple, of two very different men whose destinies converge and profoundly influence each other. What issues occupy the two men as they walk and talk in the Vatican gardens together, or later, when they share a light dinner, accompanied by Benedict's favourite drink, Fanta? This is both a biography of two popes and a story of the grace and extra wisdom that comes if a sinner can put their sins behind them.\u003cbr\u003ePlease note, this item ships from a separate warehouse.
