Product Description

The only published work to tell the complete story of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the first Latin American Pope, Francisco, el Papa de la gente takes us from the moment Bergoglio first felt a religious calling, his studies and career within the Company of Jesus, his exile, his vocation for the poor, and his confrontations inside and outside the Church, to his arrival in Rome, the details of the Conclave that elected him Pope, and the challenges he faces as the leader of an institution in turmoil. The book contains mentions and exact fragments of the Maundy Thursdays mass; it includes previously unedited materials and over 30 exclusive interviews with Bergoglios innermost circle, including his sister, closest collaborators, and the Archbishoprics Chief Press Officer.
