Angelo Bagnasco
SHEPHERDS INSIDE
Church, Society, and Person
Foreword by Pope Francis


As Pope Francis writes in the preface, this book “focuses, with punctuality, on some topics such as education, family, great poverty, and politics, with the aim of bringing them back to their original principle, that is the proclamation of Jesus Going over these pages […]. All within the gaze of one who is a Shepherd”. Among the topics Card. Bagnasco talks about with great depth and wisdom we find: the Church, the role of bishops and priests, the relationship between the parish and the territory, the meeting with young people, Vatican II, evangelization, the social crisis and Christian hope, Europe, the service of politics, immigration, the family, the culture of life…

Card. Angelo Bagnasco was ordained a priest in June 1966 and bishop in 1998. From 2007 to 2017 he was President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, from 2006 to 2020 he has been the Archbishop of Genoa.
