the pope is sick and there are eyes on the catholic church again in a big way and I don’t think people understand how unique and important this pope, pope Francis is.
pope Francis is the first pope from latin america. he was born and grew up in Argentina.
he was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
he chose Francis as his papal name to honor Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and nature- known for living a poor life to give to his community
