Drawing from his experience as a former journalist who extensively covered Pope Francis, Gibson provided valuable commentary on the pope’s motivations and intentions behind the memoir.

This is what I tried to do as pope. This is how I saw the church and the world at this time. That’s the record. That’s it.’”
