Pope Francis in his own words

With his humility and commitment to those most in need, Pope Francis won the hearts of Catholics worldwide when he was elected in March 2013. By his example, Jorge Mario Bergoglio encourages people to live a simpler life and shows the world a more compassionate face of Catholicism, bringing hope for renewal in the Church. Throughout his life, he has demonstrated his belief in simplicity and concern for the poor, refusing to live in official accommodations when he was cardinal of Buenos Aires, commuting by bus, and even persuading the diocese to allow a group of poor missionaries to live in the official residence. Pope Francis in His Own Words will provide readers with a glimpse into the new pope's thoughts.
