ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many on both sides of the Atlantic have nurtured The Great Reformer.
In Argentina, where I was lucky to have wise and well-connected friends, I am deeply in debt to Inés San Martín, now the Boston Globe’s reporter in Rome, for weeks of work transcribing the interviews and for boundless help and suggestions. Juan Pablo Cannata was an unfailing friend and opener of doors, as were Roberto Bosca and Federico Wals. The Criterio board (to which I am proud to belong) offered a home away from home, and its editor, another old friend, José María Poirier, shared his humor, insights, contacts, and stories. Father Carlos Galli in more than one meeting got my head around the teología del pueblo, while Fathers Ignacio Pérez del Viso, SJ, Alfonso Gómez, SJ, Fernando Cervera, SJ, Juan Carlos Scannone, SJ, Leonardo Nárdin, SJ, and Rafael Velasco, SJ, helped with materials, interviews, and further clarifications. I am indebted also to the photographer Enrique Cangas for taking me to Villa 21 on my first day, to Marco Gallo of Sant’Egidio for helping me with the interreligious dimension, Daniel Gassman of Caritas for valuable insights into the world of the poor, Evangelina Himitian for being a bridge to evangelicals, and Jorge Milia in Salta and Ana and Walter Albornoz in Santa Fe, for help in a number of ways. For furnishing materials and statistics, thanks to the CONICET library and the Jesuit provincial curia, to Gustavo Vittori of El Litoral for excavating an old article, and to Jorge González Mament for letting me use his unpublished memoir, and to Andrés Esteban Bayo for help with photos.
In Rio de Janeiro, my old friend Einardo Bingemer put me up when Francis came to town and opened Jesuit doors in his native Argentina. In Santiago de Chile, Sofia Wulf of Voces Católicas and Father Antonio Delfau, SJ, of Mensaje were kind and helpful, as was Juan Valdes, SJ.
To you all, and to those who did not want to be mentioned, a warm creole abrazo of thanks.
In Rome, I owe a big grazie to a friend, Father Michael Czerny, SJ, for his patient help and invaluable counsel; to María Lia Zerviño for her Bergoglio stories; to Paolo Rodari for clarifying the Curia; to Father Federico Lombardi and the staff of the Vatican press office; to Father Thomas Rosica of Salt & Light, as well as Marco Carroggio and the Santa Croce communications department; and not least to Greg Burke in the secretariat of state. I am in debt, as the text makes clear, to many tireless Vatican news gatherers and analysts who are always helpful when I am in Rome, among them John Allen, Cindy Wooden, Frank Rocca, Philip Pulella, Nicole Winfield, Andrea Tornielli, Robert Mickens, Gerard O’Connell, and Alessandro Speciale.
In New York, my indefatigable agent Bill Barry opened the path to Henry Holt, where Steve Rubin, publisher, and Serena Jones, editor, run a writer’s dream team. In Washington, hearty thanks to George Weigel, Kathryn Lopez, and Paul Elie.
And so to England, where warmest thanks go to Father James Hanvey, SJ, Master of Campion Hall, Oxford, for his suggestions, wise guidance, hospitality, and use of the library. Thanks also to the library staff of the Bodleian and the Latin-American Centre in Oxford. And special thanks to my colleagues and the board of Catholic Voices for bearing the extra burden my time away put on them, especially to Jack Valero, Kathleen Griffin, Eileen Cole, Christopher Morgan, and Isabel Errington. But my greatest debt is to my wife, Linda, who lovingly supplied me with everything I could possibly need, got me out of bed at dawn, kept me to deadlines, and once it was over put me on a ferocious diet. Neither she nor the dogs ever once complained about sharing our cottage for so long with an Argentine pope.
Lastly, merci beaucoup and muchísimas gracias to my desk companions, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and María Desatanudos, for the extra help only we know about.
