The 266th Pope from the Americas, who named himself after Saint Francis of Assisi who is dedicated to poverty, was deemed as the “People’s Pope” because of his compassion towards the poor. He made himself, and the Church, closer to the common people. When people write to him about their problems, Pope Francis prefers to call them directly and discuss their concerns. He also embraced and bestowed his blessings to a man full of tumors, and has washed the feet of certain “teenage delinquents,” including those of a Muslim woman. Pope Francis is a model of great character and leader. We are encouraged to live our lives in virtue.
