Dear (Jesuit) Holy Father: I am writing in reference to the Georgetown University's upcoming NCAA tournament prospects...

Does this mean Elvado will stop calling me "Francis" on the Blue and Gray board when we talk politics? In all seriousness, a great day for the Jesuits! |

I like to hear these things:
"Bergoglio often rode the bus to work, cooked his own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring Argentina's capital. He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.
He accused fellow church leaders of hypocrisy and forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes.
"Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit," Bergoglio told Argentina's priests last year."
On the other hand, his choices during the 70s-80s in regards to the government are worth questioning when we consider he's now one of the most influential moral and spiritual leaders in the world (if not most influential).

I note the Entrance Antiphon for today's Mass is the scriptural passage saying that Jesus appointed Peter to head his church and the gates of the netherworld would not prevail against it. And, he gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven.

Pope Francis: A Saintly Name, Hold The 'I'QUOTE:After his election as pope Wednesday, Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose a name that, for many Catholics, sent an immediate signal of his goal to unite the Roman Catholic Church: Pope Francis. The name also prompted some confusion whether it should include "I."
At least one of those questions has now been cleared up, as a Vatican spokesman said in the hours after the new pope's first appearance on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica that the pontiff would be known as "Pope Francis." The name is also repeated in Wednesday's Vatican Bulletin.

Right. He's not the first until there's a second. It's the same reason we don't call her Victoria the First. |
