Pope Francis in 2013

Jorge Mario Bergoglio (born 1936), now called Pope Francis by Roman Catholics, is the present-day Bishop of Rome, aka the Pope and has had this role since 2013.

Known for his strong emphasis on humanitarianism, he differs slightly from prior popes in departing from some Romish traditions.

In 2015, he attended a Waldensian church in northern Italy to apologies for the brutal massacres by Roman Catholic crusaders that were carried out on the exact site he visited.
