Bergoglio dedicated his life to the Roman Catholic church in 1958 when he joined the novitiate of the Society of Jesus. • Fast forward to March 13, 2013 -- a billow of white smoke rose above the Sistine Chapel. That was the moment Jorge Mario Bergoglio, became known as Pope Francis. Pope Francis became the 266th leader of the Roman Catholic church. • His leadership would bring in a new wave of firsts for the Vatican. Pope Francis was the first pope from Latin America, the first Jesuit, and first non-European in over 1,000 years. • He said he wanted to shift the church's priority to helping the poor and marginalized. Pope Francis was seen as a reformer, someone who wanted to push the Catholic church forward. • He's made relatively supportive comments about the LGBTQ community in 2013, saying quote If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? • He's warned of the growing dangers of climate change, argued that the death penalty is inadmissible, and gave priests the right to forgive abortions, a medical procedure that would have automatically resulted in the excommunication from the church. • But these signs of change didn't sit well with some conservatives in the church. • In today's episode, we're going to explore some of the controversies of Pope Francis' past, and the recent allegations that might leave some to ask, will pope Francis resign? • Connect with NowThis • » Subscribe to NowThis News: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe • » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook • » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter • » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram • » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat • Connect with Judah: • » Follow @judah_robinson on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/TweetJudah • » Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/LikeJudah • Connect with Alex: • » Follow @AlexLJanin on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/TweetAlex • » Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/LikeAlex • Connect with Versha: • » Follow @versharma on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/TweetVersha • » Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/LikeVersha • NowThis World is dedicated to bringing you topical explainers about the world around you.
