Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936, became the first pope from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere when he was elected in 2013. Known for his humility, emphasis on mercy, and focus on social justice, he has sought to address issues such as poverty, climate change, and the refugee crisis. Pope Francis has also made headlines for his calls for reform within the Catholic Church, promoting a more inclusive and compassionate approach to faith.
