VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has scored plenty of magazine covers but now he’s got a magazine all to himself.
The Mondadori publishing house, which lists the popular celebrity gossip rag Chi among its titles, said Tuesday it is launching a new magazine entirely devoted to the weekly doings, sayings, gestures and activities of the 265th Successor of Peter.
“My Pope,” at 50 cents ($0.70) a pop, hits newsstands Wednesday, and each week will include a free pull-out poster with one of Francis’ more memorable quotes from the previous seven days.
Editor Aldo Vitali said Francis’ election a year ago has generated new interest in the papacy and moral and ethical themes that will be highlighted.
