When Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected to the papacy, he made history on three fronts: the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, and the first from the Southern Hemisphere. His approach to the role broke with tradition in another way too — unpretentious and warm, a style widely described as ‘no frills.’ His push for a more open and welcoming Church, his commitment to accessibility, and his genuine common touch have won him admirers not only among Roman Catholics but across the wider world.
