Who is Pope Francis?
The first Pope of the Americas,
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, hails from
Argentina. The 76-year-old Jesuit
Archbishop of Buenos Aires is
a prominent figure throughout
the continent, yet remains a
simple pastor deeply loved by
his diocese, throughout which
he travelled extensively on the
underground and by bus during
the 15 years of his episcopal
ministry.
“My people are poor and I
am one of them”, he has said
more than once, explaining his
decision to live in an apartment
and cook his own supper.
He has always advised his
priests to show mercy and
apostolic courage and to keep
their doors open to everyone.
The worst thing that could
happen to the Church, he has
said on various occasions, “is
what de Lubac called spiritual
worldliness”, which means,
“being self-centred”. And when
he speaks of social justice, he
calls people first of all to pick
up the Catechism, to rediscover
the Ten Commandments and
the Beatitudes. His project is
simple: if you follow Christ, you
understand that “trampling upon
a person’s dignity is a serious sin”.
He was born in Buenos Aires
on 17 December 1936, the
son of Italian immigrants. His
father, Mario, was an accountant
employed by the railways and
his mother Regina Sivori was
a committed wife dedicated
to raising their five children.
He graduated as a chemical
technician and then chose the
path of the priesthood, entering
the Diocesan Seminary of Villa
Devoto. On 11 March 1958
he entered the novitiate of the
Society of Jesus. He completed
his studies of the humanities in
Chile and returned to Argentina
in 1963 to graduate with a degree
in philosophy from the Colegio
de San José in San Miguel. From
2
1964 to 1965 he taught literature
and psychology at Immaculate
Conception College in Santa
Fé and in 1966 he taught the
same subject at the Colegio del
Salvatore in Buenos Aires. From
1967-70 he studied theology
and obtained a degree from the
Colegio of San José.
On 13 December 1969 he was
ordained a priest by Archbishop
Ramón José Castellano. He
continued his training between
1970 and 1971 at the University
of Alcalá de Henares, Spain, and
on 22 April 1973 made his final
profession with the Jesuits. Back
in Argentina, he was novice
master at Villa Barilari, San
Miguel; professor at the Faculty
of Theology of San Miguel;
consultor to the Province of
the Society of Jesus and also
Rector of the Colegio Máximo
of the Faculty of Philosophy and
Theology.
On 31 July 1973 he was
appointed Provincial of the
Jesuits in Argentina, an office
he held for six years. He then
resumed his work in the
university sector and from 1980
to 1986 served once again as
Rector of the Colegio de San
José, as well as parish priest,
again in San Miguel. In March
1986 he went to Germany to
finish his doctoral thesis; his
superiors then sent him to the
Colegio del Salvador in Buenos
Aires and next to the Jesuit
Church in the city of Córdoba as
spiritual director and confessor.
The Newspaper of the Diocese of London,
established in 1980, is published quarterly in
March, June, September and December,
with 45,000 copies distributed throughout
nine counties in southwestern Ontario:
Elgin, Essex, Huron, Kent, Lambton,
Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford and Perth.
In 1992 Pope John Paul II
appointed him Auxiliary
Bishop of Buenos Aires. He
was immediately appointed
Episcopal Vicar of the Flores
district and on 21 December
1993 was also entrusted with
the office of Vicar General of the
Archdiocese. Thus it came as no
surprise when, on 3 June 1997,
he was raised to the dignity of
Coadjutor Archbishop of Buenos
Aires. Not even nine months had
passed when, upon the death
of Cardinal Quarracino, he
succeeded him on 28 February
1998, as Archbishop, Primate
of Argentina and Ordinary for
Eastern-rite faithful in Argentina
who have no Ordinary of their
own rite.

As Archbishop of Buenos Aires
— a diocese with more than
three million inhabitants —
he conceived of a missionary
project based on communion
and evangelization. He had
four main goals: open and
brotherly communities, an
informed laity playing a lead
role, evangelization efforts
addressed to every inhabitant
of the city, and assistance to the
poor and the sick. He aimed
to reevangelize Buenos Aires,
“taking into account those who
live there, its structure and its
history”. He asked priests and lay
people to work together.
Three years later at the
Consistory of 21 February
2001, John Paul II created him
Cardinal. He asked the faithful
not to come to Rome to celebrate
his creation as Cardinal but
rather to donate to the poor what
they would have spent on the
journey.
Cardinal Bergoglio became ever
more popular in Latin America.
Despite this, he never relaxed
his sober approach or his strict
lifestyle, which some have
defined as almost “ascetic”. In
this spirit of poverty, he declined
to be appointed as President
of the Argentine Bishops’
Conference in 2002, but three
years later he was elected and
then, in 2008, reconfirmed for
a further three-year mandate.
Meanwhile in April 2005 he took
part in the Conclave in which
Pope Benedict XVI was elected.

Bishop Fabbro on Pope Francis
As soon as white smoke appeared, many of us stopped
what we were doing to watch the news coverage of our
Holy Father, Pope Francis, greeting for the first time the
people in St. Peter’s Square, asking for their blessing and
blessing them. We witnessed their joy and joined them
in praying for our new pope.
The Board of Governors of the former Camp
Olalondo (Our Lady of London), a very successful

Catholic Engaged
Encounter
His election is truly historic. This is the first time
the pope is from the Americas. He is the first Jesuit
to be pope and the first pope to choose the name
Francis. Already, we can see that he is bringing a fresh
perspective to the papacy.
In the short time since his election, he has reached out
to the world. His humility and simplicity are a powerful
witness to Christ. In his homilies and discourses, he
stresses that the Gospel calls us to care for the poor and
to protect the environment. People are moved by his
words and actions.
Everywhere I go, people are talking to me about Pope
Francis. In urging our Church to look outward – to be a
Church of service to our brothers and sisters in need –
he is giving us new energy and a sense of hope.
Historically, that has been one of the defining
characteristics of our diocese. When our forefathers and
foremothers came to this region over 200 years ago, there
were no hospitals, schools or orphanages. Thanks to the
enormous sacrifices and generosity of committed lay
people, religious and clergy, we established institutions
to care for people in need. Today, we have publicly
funded hospitals, schools and social services, but we
still have the poor and needy. Many people have no
jobs because of the economic downturn, many families
are struggling, many depend on food banks and soup
kitchens. Pope Francis’ message is an encouragement
to our diocesan Church – to identify the needs of those
around us and to respond to them, oftentimes along with
other people of goodwill, with creativity and generosity.
Pope Francis is calling us back to basics – faith in Jesus
Christ and the new life he offers us. Having been a pastor
in Latin America, he knows that cultural influences pose
a great challenge for the Church today. Popular culture
tells us that we don’t need God. Our Church can no
longer take it for granted that people are going to find
God in their lives. We need to be much more intentional
in our pastoral efforts. We need to find new methods and
new energy, if we are to bring the Gospel to our young
people, to our families, to Catholics who are not coming
to Church, to people who are not part of any religion but
who, nonetheless, are searching for God in their lives.
The witness of Pope Francis is making a difference. It is
an invitation to us to discover again the joy of meeting
Jesus and to bring this Good News to others.
People everywhere – believers, and non-believers too –
are excited about our new pope. Is this excitement not an
expression of our need today for the unique gift that the
Successor of the Apostle Peter brings to the world? We
need his witness of faith and his bold proclamation of the
Gospel which gives us hope.
Jesus promised to pray for the Apostle Peter, so that he
might strengthen his fellow disciples in the faith (Luke
22:32). We thank God for giving the Church Pope
Francis and pray for him. May the Holy Spirit pour
out on him the gifts he will need for his ministry to the
Universal Church.

White Smoke!
Minutes after the election result was
declared in the Sistine Chapel, the
Master of Ceremonies offered to the
new Pope the traditional papal red
cape trimmed with ermine worn on
ceremonial occasions.
“No thank you, Monsignore,” Pope
Francis is reported to have replied.
“You put it on instead. Carnival time is
over!”
Pope Francis to Cardinals: Courage,
dear brothers! Probably half of us are
in our old age. Old age, they say, is the
seat of wisdom. The old ones have
the wisdom that they have earned
from walking through life. Like old
Simeon and Anna at the temple whose
wisdom allowed them to recognize
Jesus. Let us give with wisdom to the
youth: like good wine that improves
with age, let us give the youth the
wisdom of our lives.
Pope Francis challenges affluent
Catholic Church to live modestly.
“A bit of forgiveness makes the world
less cold and more just,” Pope Francis.
Pope Francis has met his predecessor,
Benedict XVI, in the first meeting of
two popes in more than 600 years.
Pope Francis will celebrate the Holy
Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper
at the juvenile prison ‘Casal del
Marmo’ in Rome. The Mass of the
Lord’s Supper, which commemorates
the institution of the Eucharist, also
features the rite of the washing of the
feet. As Archbishop of Buenos Aires,
Cardinal Bergoglio used to celebrate
the Mass in a prison, hospital or
hospice for poor and marginalized
people.

“You are witnesses of
these things. And see,
I am sending upon

promised”

In 1981, John Paul II nominated him to be Prefect of the
Congregation for the Doctrine
of the Faith. Cardinal Ratzinger
was elected Vice Dean of the
College of Cardinals in 1998 and, in 2002,
he was elected as Dean of the College of
Cardinals. He also served as President of
the Commission for the Preparation of the
Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Benedict XVI
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, formerly
Joseph Ratzinger, was born on April 16,
1927 in Marktl am Inn, Germany.
From 1946 to 1951, he studied philosophy
and theology at the University of Munich
and at the higher school in Freising. He
was ordained a priest on June 29, 1951. In
1953, he obtained a doctorate in theology.
He taught dogma and fundamental theology at various schools from 1959-1969. In
1969, he became a professor of dogmatic
theology and of the history of dogma at
the University of Regensburg.
In 1977, Pope Paul VI named Fr. Ratzinger
Archbishop of Munich and Freising - the
first diocesan priest in 80 years to take
over that diocese. Paul VI elevated him to
the College of Cardinals later that year.
Following the death of John Paul II in
2005, Cardinal Ratzinger presided over the
conclave to elect a new pope as dean of the
College of Cardinals. Cardinal Ratzinger
was elected as the 265th Supreme Pontiff
of the Roman Catholic Church and chose
the name “Benedict.”
Benedict XVI wrote three encyclicals:
Deus Caritas Est (Latin for “God is Love”),
Spe Salvi (“Saved by Hope”), and Caritas
in Veritate (“Love in Truth”).
In February 2013, at the age of 85, Pope
Benedict XVI resigned, becoming the first
pope in centuries to step down. The pope
explained, “In today’s world, subject to so
many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith,
in order to govern the bark of St. Peter and
proclaim the gospel, both strength of mind
and body are necessary, strength which in
the last few months has deteriorated in me
to the extent that I have had to recognize
my incapacity to adequately fulfill the
ministry entrusted to me ... For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of
this act, with full freedom, I declare that I
renounce the ministry of bishop of Rome,
successor of St. Peter.”
One of Benedict’s final acts as a pope was
to send a message to the faithful via his
Twitter page. “Thank you for your love
and support. May you always experience
the joy that comes from putting Christ at
the center of your lives.”
