As someone that is not catholic but was raised in a region with a lot of catholics this gives me hope that this is the way that the church can go.
Listening to this book the day before his funeral it truly brings me sadness that the world lost such a leader.
I wanted to read this book even before his passing but reading it now it made me close to tears multiple times
Even if you’re not religious this is an amazing book to read because it gave me hope and I hope o can live like pope Francis.

This isn’t what I normally read but “It’s a story of yesterday as much as it is of today.”
Jorge has a fresh/modern take on a lot of what is written in ~the world's most popular book~, possibly because of his experiences as being everything from a strip club bouncer to a pope, and his friendships with communists, revolutionaries, fascists, prostitutes, and many unlikely people. Here are some good takes:
- 1 single day without military spending would save 34 million people. Yet instead, governments choose to increase military spending like never before, and these governments are manufacturing hunger.
- Homosexuality is NOT a crime, it is a human fact. God loves all; “if the lord says everybody - who am I to exclude anybody ?!”
- The position of women in society is a particular form of poverty. The female body is attacked, turned into a commodity, and reduced it to an object. It is a disgrace to our society, a scandal against the gospel.
- Armies March upon the orders of the ruling class; a limited class to which they don’t even belong.
- The number of guns IS proportional to the number of deaths.
- The rich get richer and the poor poorer- stripped of all natural and human resources
- The church needs to demasculinize! The nature of women is greater than the ministry. It is necessary to favor women in every way; “we will give more complete testimony of that God father, and even more is he, mother.”
- trans women are the daughters of god
Pope Francis fulfills his namesake of "God’s jester" with fun anecdotes, tales and jokes.
Lastly: “Without dreams and change and hope, life is suffocating. ALL PEOPLE can change.”
