Pope Francis has
some exemplary qualities as a leader, he didn’t want the job of Pope and did
everything he could to avoid getting elected the previous time –apparently making
an emotional appeal to the other cardinals. He is known for his humility,
prayerfulness and love of the poor. He has sought to live a simple life and
refused chauffeur driven cars and bishops palaces preferring the bus and his
own cooking to employing servants. He is also against going back to latin only
services. For these reasons and the fact he is a Jesuit from South America he
has a lot to commend him. He has a huge amount of influence on others in his
new position and has been called evangelical and evangelistic. We protestants
will not agree with his theology concerning Mary and no doubt some other issues but can certainly pray for God
to use him for his purposes.
