First Jesuit pope brings new concerns, style
The election of Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis surprises Jesuits who now reassess their vow of obedience to the pope and the role of their order in education missions and church politics. Jesuit leaders stress practicality and bridge building while noting past tensions with Vatican authorities. The new pope’s humble life in Buenos Aires and emphasis on dialogue signal a distinctive approach to global church leadership.
