Pope Francis: The Disruptive Pilgrim's Guide

Pope Francis was the Pope for 12 years (2013-2025), Argentinian by birth but during his 12 years as Pope he never returned to his homeland. The book by prominent Australian Jesuit, Frank Brennan, writes about Francis papacy as a fellow Jesuit. He writes as Jesuit reflecting on Francis' papacy and his life as a Jesuit when he was appointed as provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina at the age of 36. Brennan refers to Francis' papacy as being one of a 'disruptor' in the life of the Catholic Church. Brennan writes in his conclusion '[Francis] left us a wonderful roadmap for pilgrims in an evangelising church committed to care for our common home by being fraternal and in solidarity with all, especially those on the frontiers and peripheries which are the privileged centres of grace.'
