(“jorge mario bergoglio”)
(born ’17 december 1936′)
(‘elected’ pope on ’13 march 2013′)
(latin: Franciscus; Italian: Francesco; Spanish: Francisco)
(“pope francis” is the 266th and current ‘Pope’ of the ‘Roman Catholic Church’, a title he holds ex officio as Bishop of Rome, and Sovereign of the vatican city)
(he chose ‘Francis’ as his ‘papal name’ in honor of “Saint Francis of Assisi”)
(“Francis” is the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European pope since the Syrian ‘Gregory III’, who died in 741)
(born in ‘Buenos Aires’, ‘Argentina’, Bergoglio worked briefly as a ‘chemical technologist’ and ‘nightclub bouncer’ before beginning seminary studies)
(he was ordained a ‘Catholic priest’ in 1969, and from 1973 to 1979 was Argentina’s provincial superior of the ‘Society of Jesus’)
(he was accused of handing two priests to the ‘National Reorganization Process’ during the ‘Dirty War’, but the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed)
(he became the ‘Archbishop of Buenos Aires’ in 1998, and was created a ‘cardinal’ in 2001 by ‘Pope John Paul II’)
(he led the ‘Argentine Church’ during the ‘December 2001 riots’ in ‘Argentina’, and the administrations of ‘Néstor Kirchner’ and ‘Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’ considered him a political rival)
(following the resignation of ‘Pope Benedict XVI’ on 28 February 2013, a papal conclave elected ‘Bergoglio’ as his successor on 13 March)
(throughout his public life, ‘Pope Francis’ has been noted for his humility, emphasis on God’s mercy, concern for the poor, and commitment to ‘interfaith dialogue’)
(he is credited with having a humble, less formal approach to the papacy than his predecessors, for instance choosing to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse rather than in the ‘papal apartments’ of the ‘Apostolic Palace’ used by his predecessors)
(in addition, due to both his ‘Jesuit’ and ‘Ignatian’ aesthetic, he is known for favoring simpler ‘vestments’ void of ornamentation, including refusing the traditional ‘papal mozzetta’ cape upon his election, choosing silver instead of gold for his ‘piscatory ring’, and keeping the same ‘pectoral cross’ he had as ‘Cardinal’)
(he maintains that the church should be more open and welcoming)
(he does not support unbridled ‘capitalism’, ‘Marxism’, or Marxist versions of ‘liberation theology’)
(‘francis’ maintains the traditional views of the church regarding ‘abortion’, ‘euthanasia’, ‘contraception’, ‘homosexuality’, ‘ordination of women’, and ‘priestly celibacy’)
(he opposes ‘consumerism’, ‘irresponsible development’, and supports taking action on ‘climate change’, a focus of his papacy with the promulgation of ‘laudato si’)
.
(in ‘international diplomacy’, he helped to restore full diplomatic relations between the USA + ‘cuba’)
