Jorge Gorgoglio from Argentina has been elected as the new
Pope. I was extremely impressed by his
humble demeanor and his request for the people to pray for him. This selection seems to signal new directions
for the Catholic Church.
I do not go to church often, but I was raised as a
Catholic and this moment moved me. There
is a lot of hope in this humble man who takes the bus to work, who cooks his
own dinners, who doesn’t live in the Cardinals’ residence, who joins Italy and
Argentina by being an immigrant to Argentina, who is a man of the people who
washes the feet of AIDS patients.
