Born in 1936 in Argentina, Pope Francis was only 2 years old when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, starting World War II, and 8 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires was created a cardinal by Saint John Paul II in February 2001, a few months before the September 11 attacks, and served as president of the Argentine Episcopal Conference in 2008. He was 76 years old when he was elected Supreme Pontiff , after the historic resignation of Benedict XVI.
The Holy Father’s autobiography, which is not classified as a memoir, will also touch on current global issues, such as abortion, racial discrimination, climate change, atomic weapons, war and social inequalities.
