Pope Francis

Meer over het boek

The election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis marked a historic moment for the Catholic Church, as he became the first pope from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere. His selection also broke a 1,200-year tradition of European popes and introduced the Jesuit perspective to the papacy. Choosing the name Francis signifies a commitment to humility and social justice, reflecting his vision for the Church in a contemporary context.
