On March 13, 2013, at 7:06 pm (Central European Time), white smoke
was spotted rising from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel where the
conclave was being held. It could only mean one thing -- a new pope
had been chosen to lead the Catholic Church. Although many did not
know the name of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Cardinal from
Argentina, as he was not predicted to be the new pope by any of the
analysts or even administrators of the church, the world quickly
began to praise him for his extremely humble attitude and
straightforward manner. News headlines exploded with information
about the first non-European and first Jesuit pope in the history
of the church, and Latin Americans rejoiced at finally having
significant representation in the church hierarchy. This biography
will follow Bergoglio's ancestors as they travel by ship from Italy
to Buenos Aires, explore Jorge's career as priest, bishop, and
later cardinal, delve deep into his beliefs and opinions about the
world and the state of the church, as well as attempt to predict
how this man from humble beginnings will help shape the Catholic
Church in the future. LifeCaps is an imprint of BookCaps Study
Guides. With each book, a lesser known or sometimes forgotten life
is recapped. We publish a wide array of topics (from baseball and
