When the White Smoke Clears

This timely and accessible book will offer three key reflections:

• What the Church teaches about the office of the pope and why it matters
• Who Pope Leo XIV is, and what his early words and actions reveal
• How we can faithfully support Pope Leo XIV through prayer, fasting, and attentiveness to his teaching

With contributions from trusted Catholic voices—Fr. Mike Schmitz, Jeff Cavins, Dr. Edward Sri, Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Fr. Josh Johnson, Katie Prejean McGrady, and more—When the White Smoke Clears will ground readers in Church teaching and call them to a mature, prayerful posture toward our new Holy Father Pope Leo XIV.
