Pope Francis reshapes papacy with modest style and ideas
The piece portrays Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis, a unimposing yet influential leader who rejects opulent trappings, lives in a Rome guesthouse, drives a Ford Focus, and urges care for the environment in Laudato si. It compares him to a cautious, strategic thinker and notes his impact on Catholics and public perception.
