Our new Holy Father is Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio of Argentina. He has chosen the name Francis, which delights me to no end. Our world needs the virtues of St Francis now more than ever. Let's hope our new pope can show us how to live those virtues, and 'rebuild My Church.'
Update 6:17PM - My son Nate reminds me that since Cardinal Bergoglio is a Jesuit, he was probably intending to honor St Francis Xavier instead of St Francis of Assisi. He's undoubtedly right, but since St Francis Xavier was honoring the saint of Assisi when he took HIS name, I think it still counts as a tip of the hat to the Poverello. Still really happy that we have a Pope Francis!
