His first request as pope: please pray for me. He needs our prayers everyday, since he has to finish the work his predecessor began bringing paedophilic priests to justice and therapy. Francis’ next challenge is to counter the secularization and diminishing amounts of Catholics around the world. The “vatileaks”, leakage of documents from former papal administrations is a third one to stop. Francis will definitely gather his own team of trusted staff. Last, but not least there are theological issues (care for the poor instead of a bias towards teachings only; interfaith dialogue).
Where Ratzinger only ended up with a Twitter avccount, Francis is more a man of his time, but one who also travels by subway and bus just like any other citizen. The “pope mobile” isn’t used anymore. Francis is a beacon of hope for the poor, persecuted sectors of the church. What will it mean for Roman Catholicism? Meet a humble man who has come one of the most powerful and influential men on earth. For a (definite) biography the material lacks substance. ( )
