Pope Francis
His Amazing Life in Argentina
If you wanted to find the Archbishop, go to the poorest slums in Buenos Aires. There he is hearing confession, baptizing children, presiding over funerals and marriages; and counseling school children. As you can see, Pope Francis has a deep and practical love of the poor.
During the brutal military dictatorship he hid people from the police. At the same time he opposed the false beliefs of Liberation Theology which put him at odds with many of his fellow religious, but he stood his ground.
Learn many endearing facts about Pope Francis’ family and youth.
