Francis died. The life communicative of Pope “from the end of the world”

Pope Francis died. He left at 7:35 p.m. to the Lord in the Holy home of Martha. The information about the death of Pope Francis was given from the chapel of the Holy home by Marta the chamberling of the Holy Roman Church cardinals. Kevin Farrell. The Pope was 88 years old. Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who was the 266th Bishop of Rome from March 13, 2013, was 76 at the time of his election and until that time was the metropolitan of his hometown – Buenos Aires for 16 years.

Until 2011, he had been president of the episcopal of his country for 2 3 years. He was the first Argentinean and even American resident, as well as the first Jesuit to be elected to the highest office in the Catholic Church. He was besides the first to take the name Francis. As he himself said just after the first appearance of St. Peter's Square, the cardinals elected the pope "from the end of the world."

Francis was born on 17 December 1936 in Buenos Aires as 1 of 5 children in the household of an Italian immigrant – a railway worker. By education, he was a chemist's technician. On 11 March 1958, he joined the Society of Jesus – a novitiate he held in Chile, where he was educated in the field of humanities, and then in the College of St. Joseph in the Sub-Church of San Miguel, obtaining a Bachelor of doctrine there. He then studied literature and psychology at the College of Mary Immaculate in Santa Fe and at the College of Savior in Buenos Aires.

On December 13, 1969, he was ordained priest by the then Metropolitan of Córdoba Archbishop Ramón José Castellanos (1903-79), after which he continued his studies in Spain and there on April 22, 1973 took perpetual vows in his order. Upon his return to the country, he was, among others, a novitiate master, lecturer in theology faculty at his erstwhile college in San Miguel, and from 1973 to 1979 I was a Jesuit state in Argentina. During this time he besides left respective times for longer or shorter stays in Germany. From 1980 to 1986, he was the rector of the college in San Miguel.

May 20, 1992 St. John Paul II appointed the 55-year-old Jesuit as the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires; the sakre a fresh hierarch adopted on 27 June that year at the hands of the then Archbishop of the capital of the cardinals. Antonio Quarracino. His bishop's call is the words “Miserando atque eligendo”. On June 3, 1997, the Holy Father appointed a hierarch as Archbishop of the Coadiator with legal consequences, and little than a year later – on February 28, 1998 he appointed him Archbishop of his hometown. On November 30, that year, the pope appointed him as an orderly for faithful east rites in Argentina, without its own bishop.

At the consistory of February 21, 2001, John Paul II included him in the composition of the College of Cardinals, awarding him as a titular church in Rome the temple of Saint Robert Bellarmin. As Bishop and Cardinal, the future Pope participated in many crucial church events with the Synods of Bishops at the head. In 2005-11, for 2 3-year term, he was president of the Argentine Bishops' Conference.

From 18 to 19 April 2005 cardinal. Bergoglio took part in the conclave which selected Benedict XVI and, as it turned out after years, was already 1 of the main candidates for the fresh pope, taking second place in the final vote for the cardinals. Joseph Ratzinger. And 8 years later, as a consequence of the conclave on 12-13 March 2013, he replaced him at the office of the Bishop of Rome. But earlier that year – on February 23rd of that year Benedict XVI appointed the Argentine hierarch-jezuite associate of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, acting within the Congregation for Bishops. This was 1 of the last decisions of this pope, who ended his pontificate 5 days later. The authoritative beginning of the ministry of the fresh Holy Father occurred little than a week later – 19 March 2013.

Francis was the first Jesuit on the throne of Peter, and at the same time the first Successor of St Peter – a monk in over a century and a half. The erstwhile bishop of Rome, who had belonged to any order before his election, was the Camedule Gregory XVI (Bartolomeo Cappellari; 1765-1846, Pope was from 1831). He was elected Bishop of Rome on 2 February 1831, after a conclave that lasted over 2 months (previous Pope, Pius VIII, died on 30 November 1830).

Francis was besides the 8th Pope, who, after his election, showed the full planet for the first time in the loggia of St Peter's Basilica. The first was Pius XI (Achille Ratti), elected 6 December 1922: he greeted the faithful in St Peter's Square and gave them the blessing "Urbi et Orbi". His appearance at this place had a symbolic dimension, as since the Italian troops took Rome by the Italian troops on 20 September 1870 and the liquidation of the Church State, the popes were "prisoners of the Vatican" and officially did not appear publicly, but for spiritual rites and the loggia of St Peter's Basilica was closed. And only this appearance of the fresh bishop of Rome in this place meant wanting to reconcile with the Kingdom of Italy. Later, for the pontificate of the pope, on February 11, 1929 the Lateran Agreements (Treaty) were concluded, which yet regulated relations between Papacy and the Italian state.

All subsequent successors of Pius XI have already regularly appeared in the loggia of the Vatican Basilica: Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli; 1939–58), St. John XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli; 1958–63), St. Paul VI (Giovanni Battista Montini; 1963–78), Blessed John Paul I (Albino Luciani; 1978), St. John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla; 1978–2005), Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger; 2005–13) and Francis (Jorge M. Bergoglio; since 2013).

Earlier, the popes greeted the faithful gathered from the loggia basilica: St John in Lateran or St Paul in the Walls, not always on the day of their choice, but sometimes they did so the next day or even a fewer days later.
