Synopsis
1979: Pope John Paul II visits Ireland, one of the most socially conservative countries in Europe. Against a background of long-term economic stagnation, widespread poverty and mass emigration. His visit draws crowds in excess of one million.

2018: Pope Francis I visits Ireland. One of the wealthiest small nations in the world and one of the most liberal-in fact, the only one to have endorsed gay marriage and access to abortion by popular vote. His mass in the phoenix park draws a crowd estimated at 150,000.

In this timely and brilliant successor to his state-of-the-nation classic, the pope's children, bestselling author and economist David McWilliams returns to trace the course of a generation of changemakers and asks: where do we go from here?
