Pope Francis to Publish Memoirs Next Month

Pope Francis is set to publish his memoirs next month, drawing on deeply personal notes he has written over several decades.

The writings span a period that began long before he became head of the Catholic Church, giving the forthcoming memoirs a scope that extends beyond his papacy.

Francis continued recording his personal reflections while leading the Church, a tenure that has lasted nearly 12 years.

The memoirs will bring together those reflections from before and during his leadership, offering readers a personal perspective on the years covered by his notes.
