POPE FRANCIS NAMED TIMES MAN OF THE YEAR

Jorge Mario Bergoglio widely otherwise known as Pope Francis has been named as TIME Magazine‘s ‘Person of the Year‘ for 2013.

‘He took the name of a humble saint and then called for a church of healing. The first non-European pope in 1,200 years is poised to transform a place that measures change by the century‘,  contributing writers Howard Chua-Eoan and Elizabeth Dias say of the 76-year-old.

Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first pope from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European Pope since Pope Gregory III.

He recently revealed that before the Jesuits, he worked as a bar bouncer.
