Summary

Pope Francis has captured the world's attention with his seemingly counterintuitive approach to leadership.

Designed for a broad readership, this is a compilation of essays, speeches, and homilies by Pope Francis since his election on being a church that exists among and for the people, solidarity with the poor, and the need to demolish the idols of power and money
