"The 'Man From the End of the World'"

"The papacy has for centuries brought with it a place on the world stage. Francis, who from the off gave the impression of being a man in a hurry, was determined to use that platform to push a bottom-up agenda for the world. He insisted that Catholicism would henceforth be 'a poor church for the poor', and returned time and again in his pronouncements to the need to close the economic gap between developed and developing nations."

Peter Standord at The Guardian writes an obituary for Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis.
