Key Words of Pope Francis is a collection of over 50 essays by an impressive set of insightful contributors from around the globe, each writing on a specific word that was essential to the ministry of Pope Francis.
Writers such as Fr Timothy Radcliffe, Archbishop Justin Welby, Sr Simone Campbell, Cardinal Blase Cupich, Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, Fr James Martin, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle and Carolyn Woo explore the Pope’s use of words like joy, clericalism, field hospital, money, family and tears.
Together, they reveal what Francis’s use of these words says about him, his ministry and priorities, and their significance to the church, the world, and the lives of individual Christians. The entire collection is introduced by a foreword by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians worldwide, and a preface by one of Francis’s closest advisers, Cardinal Seán O’Malley.

Acknowledgments
A helpful addition to the ever-expanding literature on Pope Francis. This collection will no doubt be greeted with gratitude by those desiring personal growth in their lives through reflection on the Pope's words and actions, especially his determination to build bridges, foster receptive dialogue, and multiply opportunities for encounter. * Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State * This brilliant collection fizzes with the tension and tumult of this most provocative and enigmatic of papacies. Francis - the top-down decentralizer, the champion of the peripheries who draws the world's attention to the personality at the center, the blunt speaker who leaves exasperated critics demanding tidiness and clarity - has triggered a creative commotion. No one writer has ever quite captured it; McElwee and Wooden's kaleidoscope comes close. * Brendan Walsh, Editor, The Tablet * In Key Words of Pope Francis, fine writers and thoughtful members of the hierarchy explain what words such as "careerism", "worldliness", "dignity" and "martrydom" mean in the context of Francis's teaching. The book has moments of important insight. * Catholic Herald * An impressive collection of essays from a broad range of commentators ... a useful primer on the thought and words of Pope Francis * Church Times *
