There’s just no stopping the people’s Pope. After appearing on the cover of Time’s magazine, he has now invaded the space usually reserved for rock and movie stars – the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
The magazine has given the ‘rockstar’ treatment to the story as well, headlining it ‘Pope Francis: The Times They Are A-Changin’ in a nod to Bob Dylan’s iconic track.
The Pope has done a lot to deserve it too. Since March when he was elevated to the post, he has ensured that attendance to papal events has tripled to 6.6 million.
The 77-year-old Argentine pontiff is renowned for throwing off his security and plunging into the crowds to greet pilgrims, and often uses jokes or stories to spread the values of the Church.
The Pope is a keen Twitter user himself, regularly posting tweets on his own feeds in nine languages, which boast more than 10 million followers in total.
