When Pope Francis first appeared on the balcony of St. Peter's
Cathedral after his proclomation only a few insiders knew who this
successor to Saint Peter was. But nobody knew which wonderful
anecdotes of the 'Cardinal of the Poor' are told in his home
country. It is well known that South Americans like to seek the
nearness of others. But a Pope who hugs and kisses visitors was a
sensation in the stiff and formal ceremonial of the Vatican. Read
here about the lively young boy Jorge, a 'little devil' who has
been a fanatical football fan since childhood. Learn how an unhappy
love affair and an unknown priest in the confessional tipped the
balance in favour of his becoming a priest. Francis was an
accomplished tango dancer and loved going out with his young
friends to the various tango bars in his Argentine home town. As a
priest he once christened an unmarried mother's seven children and
afterwards bought them Cola and sausage rolls. As Archbishop he
travelled with the Underground and lived in a modest flat instead
of in the Bishop's Palace. Francis is bringing new life to the
Catholic Church. Share our enthusiasm for these cheerful stories of
the new Pope who as Holy Father has no problems in personally
calling kiosk owners and doormen on the telephone and thus almost
causing them nervous breakdowns
