Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936 in Buenos Aires, has uniquely shaped the Roman Catholic Church as the first Jesuit pope and the first from Latin America. Over his 12-year papacy, he has advocated for the marginalized, including migrants, and urged the Church to confront its past scandals. His progressive approach has received both support from many Catholics and pushback from conservative factions concerned about deviations from traditional teachings. Francis's early life and career reflect a commitment to religious service and social justice in a tumultuous political landscape.
Pope Francis transformed the Catholic Church by championing inclusion for migrants and confronting historical scandals, despite facing resistance from conservative factions.
Emerging from a modest background in Buenos Aires, Pope Francis's journey from priesthood to the papacy exemplifies a dedication to social justice and reform.
