c
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit pope, and the first non-European to hold the papacy in over 1,200 years. His journey from a humble neighborhood in Argentina to the highest office in the Catholic Church reflects a life devoted to simplicity, compassion, and transformation.
