Who is the man who became the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church on March 19, 2013?  This Gateway Biography introduces us to Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, elected to the papacy and the first non-European pope in more than 1200 years.  He is the first Jesuit to be elected as well as the first pope to choose the name Francis.  This biography follows Pope Francis from his days as a young chemist to his studies of theology.  Not only does the reader learn of his beliefs, but also of his hobbies – including his interests in soccer and tango dancing.  The true story behind the man is fascinating!  The Lerner Publications Company produces a quality product from the binding to the colored photos.
