A Wound Full of Hope

Pope Francis, born Jorge Bergoglio in 1936, is known for his accessible religious writing that combines spiritual guidance with contemporary issues. His major works include the encyclicals "Laudato si'" on environmental care, "Fratelli tutti" on social friendship, and "Lumen fidei" on faith. As Archbishop and Pope, he's authored numerous books and interviews, using simple language to discuss complex theological concepts, social justice, and interfaith dialogue.
