Weekly magazine dedicated to Pope launched

Pope Francis has scored plenty of magazine covers but now he has got a magazine all to himself.

The Silvio Berlusconi-owned Mondadori publishing house, which lists the popular celebrity gossip rag Chi among its titles, is launching a magazine devoted to the weekly doings, sayings, gestures and activities of the 265th Successor of Peter.

My Pope, at 50 cent a pop, will each Wednesday include a free pull-out poster with one of Francis’s more memorable quotes from the previous seven days.
