Summary: On 28 February 2013, a 700 year old tradition was shattered: the conservative Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement. He would resign. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice? Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,200 years, a one-time tango-club bouncer, a passionate football fan and a man with the common touch. How did these two men become two of the most powerful people on the Earth? What's it like to be the Pope? What does the future hold for the Catholic Church and its one billion followers?
