The narrative offers an insider's perspective on Vatican politics through the experiences of an American woman navigating a male-dominated clerical culture. As a diplomat and lawyer, Mary Ann Glendon discusses critical issues faced by the Catholic Church, including women's rights, clergy abuse, and Vatican corruption under Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. Her account sheds light on the complexities of these papacies and aims to inspire lay Catholics to engage actively in their faith amidst contemporary challenges.
