In less than 12 months since his election to the Chair of St. Peter, Pope Francis has initiated Vatican reforms, personally reached out to the faithful in need of support, and inspired the Catholic faithful—both committed and lapsed. His influence has been felt outside of the Catholic Church through his ecumenical and interreligious dialogues, as well as his public ministry to the marginalized in Rome.
To mark the one-year anniversary of Pope Francis's election, The Joan and Bill Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage is hosting a symposium, Habemus Papam +1: The First Year of Pope Francis. Join us on Thursday, March 27, from 1-- 5:30 p.m. for a lively discussion focused on the first year of the Pope's reign: What has he accomplished? Where do we go from here? What remains to be done?
In this installment of the Hank Center's symposium Habemus Papam +1, Dr. Gustavo Morello, S.J. (Department of Sociology, Boston College) and Dr. Peter Bernardi, S.J. (Department of Theology, Loyola University Chicago) offer their own reflections on the roots and development of Pope Francis's personality and style from both his Argentinian Catholic background and Jesuit training.
