Re: Pope Francis
Change: Jorge Bergoglio pictured addressing the huge crowds in the Vatican last night and as a young priest in 1973 The multilingual Pope's birthplace will be seen as a significant move for the Church, taking the Papacy to a continent in which 42 per cent of the world's Catholics live. It also poses a diplomatic puzzle for Britain, which went to war with Argentina when Bergoglio was rising through the ranks of his national church. He is first non-European Pope since the Syrian Gregory III in 731. Known as an avid reformer, he becomes the third non-Italian Pope in a row, having being born and spent his life in the Argentinian capital. |
