LONDON, March 24 — Just in time for Easter, Bluewater Productions adds the biography of Pope Francis to its Faith Series.

In 25-pages, the glossy tells the story of Argentine born Jorge Mario Bergoglio and reveals details from his “childhood, training, and rise of the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church and first pope of the Americas, Pope Francis.”

Considered the “Pope of the People,” Pope Francis is famous for saying, “I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting, and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security. I do not want a Church concerned with being at the center and then ends by being caught up in a web of obsessions and procedures.”

Written by Michael Frizell, the publication offers factual information about the leader, with Frizell saying in a statement: “Researching his life and ensuring I had well-documented facts from which to draw became paramount.”
