Italian journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona has chosen an interesting way to analyze how Pope Francis is changing the Church. In his book “All of Francis' Men,” Marchese examines each of the pope's main collaborators, the cardinals he has named. These men are shaping the face of the Church, as they will elect the next pontiff.

00:27 “It's a more collaborative, more universal Church. It's no longer Rome-centric. It's beginning in the peripheries – in Tonga, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Haiti, the Central African Republic... Pope Francis is bringing the world's peripheries to the center of the Church and Christianity.”

The book was presented in Rome by two of Pope Francis' collaborators, Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga and the then-prefect for the Secretariat for Communication, Darío Viganó.

01:07 “Fabio's idea of writing a book with cardinals named by Pope Francis was an interesting one. It's an original one, and that's why I'm here.”

The book compiles friendly conversations that reveal unfiltered sides of the new cardinals – like the archbishop of Madrid being in a bar when he heard of the news; or that Cardinal Tobin found out on Twitter. They're small details that shed light on the future of the Catholic Church.
