Congratulatory Message To Pope Francis by vanstanzy(m): 10:32am On Mar 14, 2013
Pope Francis is the first ever from the Americas, an austere Jesuit intellectual who modernized Argentina‘s conservative Catholic church.

Known until Wednesday as Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.

Groups of supporters waved Argentine flags in St. Peter’s Square as Francis, wearing simple white robes, made his first public appearance as pope.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening,” he said before making a reference to his roots in Latin America, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world’s Roman Catholics.

Bergoglio often rode the bus to work, cooked his own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring Argentina’s capital. He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.

Wishing the Newly elected Pope Francis the very best in his new endeavour, and as he leads the entire 1.5 billion

Catholic faithfuls. God Almighty who has exalted him will always fight his, his familys' and the Churchs' battles,

Amen!!!!!! grin grin grin grin grin

Perhaps our Pentecostal leaders can borrow a page or two from the new pope, Francis, on humility. I doubt it. I already hear some of the leaders thinking, hmmm, unless it doesn't mean me giving up my private jet.
