Oddly, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a Jesuit, is the son of Italian parents (making him Roman) and has taken on the name, “Francis”, after Francis of Assisi, whose given name was Giovanni Francesco di Pietro (or Peter) Bernardone. Pretty interesting…
Jorge Mario Bergoglio became a Jesuit in 1958. This is very important, since the Jesuits order was organized "to stop Protestantism from spreading and to preserve communion with Rome and the successor of Peter..." just to name one task the Jesuits focus in on. The Jesuits are very involved in the financial world, the political world, the spy world, religious world, and education world just to name a few areas...I think it is prudent that since we now have a Jesuit Pope that it behooves us to know what the Jesuit order has done, will do, objectives, purpose, methods, key players, and outcomes so far.
