Follow the amazing journey of Pope Francis, whose warmth and humility made him beloved around the world.


Jorge Mario Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, from Argentina, was the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, and the first from the Southern Hemisphere. During his time as pope, he used a humbler, less formal approach to his office than his predecessors: a warm style that was referred to as "no frills." His common touch and accessibility, as well as his insistence that the church be more open and welcoming, quickly endeared him not only to Roman Catholics but to millions of others around the world.
