St Ignatius of Loyola is certainly smiling today. Not to mention St Francis of Assisi, after whom Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio took his regnal name.
A Pope who names himself Francis to remember the Saint who witnessed and agitated ‘for the poor, for the disenfranchised, for those living on the fringes and facing injustice’, is a Pope I can gladly honour as a spiritual leader even from my perch outside the Roman Catholic Church looking in.
Praise be to God, and viva il Papa Francesco!
