The renunciation of Benoît XVI and the election of Pope François, who is the first Jesuit and non-European pontiff, were only the most recent astonishing episodes of an eventful history, often woven in secrecy. The dictionary lets the reader enter into this world, with its codes, its institutions, its characters and its agonies. It explores the internal cogs of the Vatican, its powers, its weaknesses and its mistakes. It addresses very diverse questions, be it dress codes, alimentation, daily life, the role of each of its protagonists, and the role of women in the organization of the Roman curia.
