He was the first Jesuit pope. The first from the Americas. And maybe the most surprising conclave choice in modern memory. In this episode, Steve is joined by Greg Gassman of the Popeular History Podcast popeularhistory.com to unpack the remarkable journey of Jorge Mario Bergoglio — Pope Francis. From his early life in Buenos Aires to his unlikely rise to the papacy, we explore the formation of a pontiff who would challenge tradition, embrace the margins, and reshape the tone of the Catholic Church.
What did Francis’ past reveal about the path he would take? And what does it mean for the papacy today?
