    Massimo Borghesi's Book on Pope Francis and Walter J. Ong's Thought
    (N/A, 2018-10) Farrell, Thomas
    In this 5,150-word essay, I discuss Massimo Borghesi's carefully researched book The Mind of Pope Francis: Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Intellectual Journey, translated from the Italian by Barry Hudock (Collegeville, Minnesota: Liturgical Press, 2018; orig. Italian ed., 2017) within the context of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong's thought. Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope, and so it strikes me as worthwhile to use Ong's thought as a conceptual framework for discussing Bergoglio/Francis' thought.
