Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 193
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, devoted his life to faith, humility, and service. A member of the Jesuit order, he became Archbishop of Buenos Aires before being elected the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church on March 13, 2013, following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. As the first pope from Latin America and the first Jesuit to hold the position, he brought a new era of compassion, simplicity, and focus on social justice to the Vatican. Pope Francis passed away on April 21, 2025, at the age of 88, in Vatican City. His legacy lives on through his messages of mercy, inclusiveness, and care for the poor and the environment, marking a profound chapter in the history of the Catholic Church.
