A biography on Pope Francis will be published next year after a leading Roman Catholic commentator and founder of a pro-Catholic media organization acquired a deal.
Publisher Henry Holt announced it has acquired a book by Austen Ivereigh, a British journalist who helped found Catholic Voices, which seeks to improve how the church is presented in the news, Fox News reports

The book, currently untitled, is expected next year.
