In the book the pope said he experienced three "COVID moments" in his lifetime: lung problems that threatened his life when he was 21; his "displacement" in Germany in 1986 for studies; and when he was sent away to Cordoba, Argentina, for almost two years in the early 1990s. "Let Us Dream" will be published Dec. 1 by Simon & Schuster. (CNS photo/Vatican Media)
