Jesuit Father Alfonso José Gomez met his first Jesuit in 1979 who later turned out to be his religious superior in Argentina; with the passage of time this Jesuit became a bishop, and now pope, Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio (bishop) now Pope Francis. Many of us are still interested to know more about the man who sits in the Chair of Peter. The Indian Jesuit journal Jivan published an interview with Father Gomez conducted by Father John Rose, SJ.There are many things I find interesting the in this interview. But the most important thing I read was the line: "He...helped me to follow Christ." That's it. Nothing more needs to be said.
A life of simplicity is the new pope's way of proceeding.
