Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, is the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, having been elected on March 13, 2013. The first pope from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere, he is known for his progressive views on social issues, interfaith dialogue, and a focus on the poor and marginalized. His papacy has been marked by efforts to reform the Vatican bureaucracy, increase the role of women in the church, and address issues such as climate change and migration.
