Pope Francis - and the
difference in 8 years
ROME 19 March 2013
-- The pictures say it all, but here are two different
perspectives on the beginning of hte Pope francis Pontificate:
The first was a call from the UK:
Q: "Is it true that Pope Francis is a Salesian Past
Pupil?"
A: " In fact, yes". From an Argentine Salesian we recieved the
following information:
"I
confirm that Bergoglio was a pupil at the Ramos Mejia Salesian
College
(Collegio Wilfrid Baron) for a year, along with his brother. It
was
probably 1949 if I am not mistaken. This has been confirmed by the
Rector of that community, so the phto we have seen is an authentic
one".
The
second perspective on all this is just a point of interest.
There is
only eight years of difference between the election of Pope
Francis and
the election of Pope Benedict XVI, but if anyone was to have
any doubts
about the digital transformation that has occured in those
eight years,
compare the photos!
Happy Feast of St Joseph BTW!
