Franciscus
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936, has been the head of the Catholic Church since 2013. He is known for his focus on humility, social justice, and interfaith dialogue. Throughout his papacy, he has addressed various global issues such as poverty, climate change, and migration. Despite his health challenges, including a lung surgery at the age of 21, he has remained active in his role. Recently, he was in the news following hospitalization for severe bronchitis, leading to the cancellation of his public engagements for the week.
