Summary

Chronicling the life of Angelo Roncalli, the son of sharecroppers, from childhood to papacy, this biography introduces adolescent readers to the man who would go on to be known as “Good Pope John.” As Pope John XXIII, Roncalli worked tirelessly to foment unity among Christians all over the world and peace between nations, and he played a key role in the Second Vatican Council, which profoundly changed the course of the Catholic Church. As they learn about his efforts to save Jewish refugees during World War II and his ongoing campaign for peace and understanding among different peoples, readers will get a sense of the profound humanism and spirit of tolerance that marked the private life and public life—from priesthood to papacy—of John XXIII.

La humanidad y el espíritu de tolerancia fueron dos rasgos destacados de la personalidad de Angelo Roncalli, aspectos que desde el inicio caracterizaron su misión apostólica y que él mismo supo convertir posteriormente en las señas de identidad de su papado. Así, el papa Juan XXIII, conocido popularmente como el «Papa bueno», contribuyó enormemente a fomentar el ecumenismo entre los cristianos y la educación para la paz entre todos los pueblos, y fue además el principal impulsor del Concilio Vaticano II, que supuso una importante renovación de la Iglesia católica.
