Aemilia Lucia Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Super excited right now! Viva il Papa! :smile4:
Lil Red Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 okay, after St. Francis of Assisi, or St. Francis Xavier?
WillT Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 John Allen Jr. profiled him last week, you should find the article. http://ncronline.org/node/46476 Actually, there it is. :) Thanks for that article! I'm thinking Francis of Assisi after reading it.
Basilisa Marie Posted March 13, 2013 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.
Guest Allie Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 okay, after St. Francis of Assisi, or St. Francis Xavier? Maybe both. Papa Benedict was named after 2 Sts. Benedict.
Seven77 Posted March 13, 2013 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!
