Jesuit journals around the world have published an exclusive interview with Pope Francis. The interview was conducted by Fr Antonio Spadaro SJ, editor in chief of La Civiltà Cattolica, the Italian Jesuit journal, over the course of three meetings held in August 2013 in Rome. His questions were consolidated from those sent by several major Jesuit journals including La Civiltà Cattolica, Thinking Faith and America.
In the interview, translated from the original written in Italian, Pope Francis speaks movingly and candidly about what it means for him to be a Jesuit, and about the experiences and influences that have shaped his life, including his years as a Jesuit superior in Argentina.
