In an article for The Guardian, British Catholic historian Catherine Pepinster gave the book a mixed reveiew. Pepinster praised the insight the pope provided, but also noted how he skated over scandals such as his decision to hold a mass in Chile in 2018 with a bishop who was accused of covering up sex abuse, his claim that he was unaware of reports regarded sexual abuse committed by former cardinal Theodore McCarrick even after they were received by Vatican, and the controversy concerning his alleged failure to help two Jesuit priests who were tortured in by the former Argentine junta when he was head of the Argentinean Jesuit order^[2]
