[Loose] Personal Ties to Pope Francis

Earlier this week (on March 13, 2013), the Catholic Church elected its new Pope to become the "Archbishop of Rome". The cardinal they selected, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was an historic choice on many counts, but he was also special for me through two very personal connections. First, he was formerly the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, which is where I was born and spent my first six years. Second, he selected the papal name of "Francis" after St. Francis of Assisi, who was also the namesake of my high school alma mater. Felicitaciones, Papa Francis!
