An author of books on spirituality and meditation, since 1998 he has been archbishop of Buenos Aires, where his style is low-key and close to the people. He rides the bus, visits the poor and a few years ago made a point of washing the feet of 12 AIDS sufferers on Holy Thursday. He also has created 17 new parishes, restructured the administrative offices, led pro-life initiatives and started new pastoral programs, such as a commission for divorced people. He co-presided over the 2001 Synod of Bishops and was elected to the synod council, so he is well known to the world&#8217;s bishops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; \"><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.0px\">John Thavis&#8217; piece, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnthavis.com\/first-thoughts-about-pope-francis\">First Thoughts about Pope Francis<\/a>.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; \">Plus, John Allen has <a href=\"http:\/\/ncronline.org\/blogs\/ncr-today\/papabile-day-men-who-could-be-pope-13\">a profile of Pope Francis<\/a> written for the NCR.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top:10px;height:15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=6c777c22-7fbd-43bf-9c0a-29132b8c97aa\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" style=\"border:none;float:right\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America Magazine wrote on 18 April 2005, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a 68-year-old Jesuit who has a growing reputation as a very spiritual man with a talent for pastoral leadership.
