Pope Francis a reflection of Christ’s tenderness, mercy

Special to the Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Remembering Pope Francis

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, radiated the deep joy of one who truly believed in the Resurrection. His smile, simplicity, and sense of humor made him not only a beloved spiritual father but also a reflection of the risen Christ’s tenderness and mercy.
