Everything has begun. The new pope, and a new era. The weapons ring out. Wars flare up. Fires everywhere. A surprise choice whom the heavenly Father places at the very center of history. This pope moves the Church toward the center, preparing for the one who will plunge the Church into the heart of Mary. He will protect the Church from the wolves and will enliven it with his heart, but he will not be the pope of the Age of Mary. That gift lies with another still to come.
