Pope FrancisFrancis (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio) is the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church.
Bergoglio entered the Society of Jesus as a novice on March 1958 and officially became a Jesuit on 12 March 1960. Pope had chosen the papal name Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. His motto, «Miserando atque eligendo», is taken from a homily of St. Bede on Мat 9:9-13, who commented that Jesus "saw the tax collector and, because he saw him through the eyes of mercy and chose him, he said to him: 'Follow me'". Let us build the new social justice assuming that the Christian tradition never recognized the right to private property as absolute and untouchable and always emphasized the social function of any of its forms. The right to property is a secondary natural right derived from the right that everyone has, born from the universal destination of created goods. There is no social justice that can be based on inequality, which is the concentration of wealth. The pontificates of the last Popes
Pope dedicates his papacy to Our Lady of Fatima
At the Holy Father’s personal request, Cardinal Jose Polycarp, the Patriarch of Lisbon, consecrated the pontificate of Pope Francis to Our Lady of Fatima on her feast day.
The penultimate Pope in the extreme persecutionIn 1595, the Benedictine monk Arnold de Wyon published the Prophecy of the Popes in his book The Tree of Life [Arnold de Wyon, Lignum Vitae]. This prophecy is attributed to St. Malachy, Archbishop of Armagh in Northern Ireland, who lived from 1094 to 1148. The prophecy contains 113 Latin prophetic phrases characterizing the Popes, beginning with Celestine II (elected in 1143). This prophecy is attributed to St. Malachy, Archbishop of Armagh in Northern Ireland, who lived from 1094 to 1148. The prophecy contains 113 Latin prophetic phrases characterizing the Roman Popes, beginning with Celestine II (elected in 1143). According to this prophecy, Pope Francis is the penultimate Pope and his pontificate is characterized by the motto: lat. "In psecutione extrema S.R.E. ſedebit."
This Latin phrase is translated as follows:
Sometimes extreme persecution is understood as last persecution: The difference in these versions is not significant, since the last persecution of the Church must be extremely severe persecution. “I want the Church to go into the streets”
I want the Church to go out into the streets, I want us to defend ourselves against all worldliness, opposition to progress, from that which is comfortable, from that which is clericalism, from all that which means being closed up in ourselves. Parishes, schools, institutions are made in order to come out … if they do not do this, they become a non-governmental organisation, and the Church must not be an NGO”.
