Certainly it looks from his previous life and his writings that he had a predilection for the Franciscan style, within the Jesuit framework, but if we are to believe him here, the name was an inspiration of the heart. Those who find this disconcerting are not willing to admit that the Holy Spirit is not a comfortably tame dove, but the God of the burning bush and pillar of fire.jdonliturgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729552755992633453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747077806405542777.post-16660960324001703192013-03-17T23:27:24.427-05:002013-03-17T23:27:24.427-05:00It's interesting because I would have thought ...It's interesting because I would have thought he'd been thinking of this for a while. This Franciscan style of being a Pope seems to come naturally to him and is characteristic of his time as Archbishop too. It seemed like the name is a natural choice for him and something he'd always contemplated. Not something that came to him at the words of a cardinal in the moments just after his election. At any rate, he wears the name well and seems to do it justice. I think he's going to bring a richness to the papacy that is different and new. I'm looking forward to really seeing his agenda and plans. Marc Cardaronellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608322942508691673noreply@blogger.com
