2. INTRODUCTION
Pope Francis,born Jorge Mario Bergoglio; (17
December 1936) is the head of the Catholic
Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State.
Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first from the
Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere,
and the first pope from outside Europe since the
Syrian Gregory III, who reigned in the 8th century.
3. HIS LEADERSHIP SKILLS WITH AN EXAMPLE
DATE: MARCH 10, 2015
Pope Francis, who marks his second year as leader of the Catholic Church this week, has garnered the type of
favorability ratings that any leader would envy. In a Pew poll released last week, nine out of ten Catholics in America
gave the Pope high marks—nearly on par with the hugely popular Pope John Paul II’s top ratings. Around the world,
sixty percent of Catholic and non-Catholic respondents alike said they viewed Francis favorably.
And his achievements have extended beyond popularity. As Francis’s tenure reaches the two-year mark, the Pope can
already look back on significant economic reforms at the Vatican, published a report condemning unbridled
capitalism and fueled an evolving discussion on divorce and homosexuality throughout the Church (not to mention
being named TIME’s Person of the Year in 2013).
