Lil Red Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm floored that he took the humble name of St. Francis of Assisi...the most powerful witness I could imagine. John Allen Jr. profiled him last week, you should find the article. http://ncronline.org/node/46476 Actually, there it is. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yep! God told Francis to rebuild his Church! When he was a bishop, the pope lived in a small apartment and took the bus to work. He told Argentinians to not fly to Rome for the conclave, but rather give the money to the poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Allie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 okay, after St. Francis of Assisi, or St. Francis Xavier? Maybe both. Papa Benedict was named after 2 Sts. Benedict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven77 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think that Pope Francis chose the name after Sts. Francis of Assisi, Francis Xavier, and possibly even Francis De Sales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
