Pope Francis is an amazing pope who is unique in his way. His real name is Jorge Bergoglio and chose his pope name to be dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. He was born in Argentina and has Italian heritage. He is a Jesuit who loves to tango and play soccer when he was younger. He also loved to hang out with his friends, which one day lead him to go to confession. That day at confession was a major turning point for him and his religious perspective. He slowly started to make his way from priest to cardinal to pope. As pope he wrote about a lot different things, but the topics he focused on were mainly on family, light, the environment and love. This definitely showed that as a pope he really cares about others, how their lives are, strengths their fair and teaches them to love by showing them love. As pope, he is described as a non-desk pope, which basically means that he doesn't just sit at a desk all day but he goes out and gets totally involved with the community. He made an effort to know every person personally. No other pope did all things that he did. He will change the way the catholic church functions and along with that, make the world a better place.
