The world was shocked when Jesuit magazines across the globe
simultaneously released an exclusive interview with Pope
Francis, just six months into his historic papacy. Within
minutes of its release, the interview dominated the
worldwide media. In a wide-ranging conversation, Pope
Francis spoke movingly about his spiritual life, his hopes
for church reform, his open-minded stance toward gays and
lesbians, his views on women, and even his favorite
movies. America magazine, where the idea for
the interview originated, commissioned a team of five
Italian-language experts to ensure that the pope's words
were transmitted accurately into English. Now this
remarkable, historic, and moving interview is available in
book form. In addition to the full papal interview
conducted by Antonio Spadaro, SJ, on behalf of the Jesuit
journals, A Big Heart Open to God includes an
introduction by the editor in chief of America,
Matt Malone, SJ, describing the genesis of the interview, a
series of responses by a diverse range of Catholic voices,
and a spiritual refection on the interview by James Martin,
SJ, author of Te Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. In his
refection, Father Martin helps readers use the pope's
powerful comments as a foundation for personal
prayer. In this historic interview, Pope Francis's
vision for the church and humanity itself is delivered
through a warm and intimate conversation, and he shows us
all how to have a big heart open to God.
