Pope Francis' life and legacy

In March 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina was elected 266th Pope, the first South American to become spiritual leader of the Catholic Church. He set out to reform the Vatican and the papal office, promoted climate action and inter-religious dialogue.The name he chose to be known by refers to St Francis of Assisi. Following "the little poor man's" example, Bergoglio wanted a "poor church for the poor."

We spoke to people who knew the Pope Francis personally, among them priests and ordinary members of the Catholic Church, to hear their story and learn how they experienced the pontificate.
