Pope Francis I: First Jesuit Pope Shatters Centuries Of Mistrust

Pope Francis I: First Jesuit Pope Shatters Centuries Of Mistrust: "Jorge Mario Bergoglio may have chosen to name himself Francis I after the patron saint of Italy, St. Francis of Assisi, but His Holiness is not a Franciscan. He is a Jesuit, the first member of the Society of Jesus to be elected pope. He is also the first member of a religious order to become pope since 1831, when the conclave elected Gregory XVI, a Camaldolese Benedictine monk."
