Joseph Falloon’s Reviews > The Shoes of the Fisherman > Status Update

It's very much a product of its time. Published in 1963, right after the conclusion of the Second Vatican council, and no doubt written throughout its course, it follows a Ukranian Cardinal who is elected pope. Thus far, it is supportive and optimistic for the reforms of the V2 council. In hindsight, I say a great deal to myself about the book, but it is well written and a worthy addition to the bookshelf.
