My Pope Philippines - August 2018

En este asunto

Every family has its favourite stories, myths, and legends, and the Pope’s is no different. In this issue we bring you the origins of the Bergoglio family as well as the different homes of Lolo Kiko’s childhood, and the influences that shaped him. We also fast forward to the present, and give you a peek into the Santo Papa’s private life in his new home, Casa Santa Marta. And because this issue is all about family, we bring you wonderfully real stories that celebrate how families can come in many different shapes and forms.
