“The Private Diary of Pope Francis.”<\/p>\n

The writings span from December 1992, just over a decade before he became pope, to August 2024, eight months before he died and was succeeded by Pope Leo XIV<\/a>. The English-language edition of his private reflections was translated from the Spanish original by Sister Bernadette Reis and edited and annotated by V\u00edctor Manuel Fern\u00e1ndez, an Argentine cardinal who heads the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.<\/p>\n

Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Francis was a native of Argentina and history’s first Latin American pope. He was known for his down-to-earth style and emphasis on humility, including visits to poor countries with persecuted Christian minorities rather than the traditional strongholds of Catholicism. At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, from an empty St. Peter’s Square, he called for \u201call of us to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

At times, he was controversial. He angered some conservatives with his outreach to LGBTQ+ Catholics and was widely criticized for saying that those who accused Chilean Bishop Juan Barros of helping to protect the alleged pedophile Rev. Fernando Karadima had committed slander. In 2016, commenting on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s<\/a> vow to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, Francis said that anyone building a wall to keep migrants out \u201cis not Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his lifetime, Francis’ books included \u201cThe Name of God Is Mercy\u201d and the memoir \u201cHope.\u201d He died on April 21, 2025<\/a> at the age of 88.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPope Francis\u2019 funeral was held Saturday at the Vatican with over 50,000 people in attentive in St. Peter\u2019s Square.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Journal entries kept by Pope Francis before and during his papacy will be published this fall for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[27481,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-485878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-catholic-church","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
