About this ebook
A wide-ranging collection of quotes from the new Pope’s writings and speeches, revealing his opinions on the moral issues surrounding the Catholic Church today – from wealth inequality to assisted suicide, contraception and homosexuality to celibacy and the role of women.
Pope Francis won the hearts of Catholics all over the world when he was elected in March 2013, with his natural humility and commitment to putting those who are poor at the centre of his mission.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio – the 265th successor of St Peter and the first non-European Pope in over 1200 years – has encouraged people to live simpler lives and shown the world a more compassionate face of Catholicism, bringing fresh hope for a renewal in the Church.
In his own life, he has long demonstrated both his belief in simplicity and his concern for those who are poor, refusing to live in palatial accommodation during his tenure as a cardinal in Buenos Aires, riding the bus to work and even persuading the diocese to allow a group of poor missionaries to live in the official residence.
‘Pope Francis in His Own Words’ has been compiled to give Catholics and non-Catholics alike an insight into the thoughts of the new pontiff.

Reviews for Pope Francis in his Own Words
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a good read but I would have liked more direct quotes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An assortment of quotes by Pope Francis, organized by topic. Each topic only had 1-3 (maybe 4) quotes. Very quick book (160 some pages counting citations, only 96 pages of actual quotes). They are all pretty interesting. Wish there was a bit more meat to this though, maybe more context to each quote, etc.
