When Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergolio, born in Argentina, was elected in 2013, assuming the name Francis, the reaction throughout Latin America was no less than lifting.
The Latin American Church, most of them Catholics, has neglected, in the past, by the church, which, through modern history, has turned into Europe when choosing its leadership.
With the election of Argentina, many knew themselves with Pope Francis, who always defended the rights of immigrants, He spoke against the increasing division between the rich and the poor and made the point of speaking on behalf of those who seemed to forget it.
Before the Pope was, Francis published the word in some of the poorest of the poor neighborhoods in Latin America, in times of military dictatorship and national financial crises.
Through his experiences in Latin America and with charisma and a sense of society, he differs from any previous Pope, Francisco has left a permanent sign of millions of Catholics all over the world.
A lot of Argentine success It can be attributed to the common touch that he never agreed.
According to former Ecuador President Rafael Korea, during a meeting with Francisco in 2015, the ink joked that many people assumed this, As the first Pope of Argentina, whose citizens are famous for its high limit, the name “Jesus II” would be adopted.
This temporary method may be its greatest origin: in 2015, after the first meeting between Francisco and Cuban leader Raul Castro, who was in power from 2008 to 2018 as an atheist for a long time: “If the Pope continues to speak like this sooner or later, I will pray and return to the Catholic Church.”
Castro’s observation was so out that it was not reported by the Cuban State Press.
