Francis’ Focussed on Himself: Third (!) Autobiography in Two Years
The original plan was allegedly to publish the memoirs after Francis' death. But "the needs of our time" prompted Francis to shape the narrative of his life.
The German publisher Kösel claims that it is the first autobiography of a pope in his lifetime. In fact, Pius XII had already met journalists who wrote his biographies (e.g. Konstantin, Prince of Bavaria). John Paul II published his memoirs under the title “Gift and Mystery”.
Francis is now publishing his THIRD autobiography in two years.
In March 2024, he published "Life - My Story in History" with the journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona.
In April 2024, Francis published "The Successor" with the journalist Javier Martinez Brocal.
