      abstract = {Pope Francis confuses many observers because his papacy  does not fit neatly into any pre-established classificatory  schemes.

The chapters in this volume ask what difference it makes  that he is the first pope from Latin America, how and why  different countries in the world respond to him, how his  understanding of scripture informs his ideas on economic,  social, and environmental policy, and where politics meets  theology under Francis.
