History's first Latin American pope already made his mark and could have even more impact in the years to come.
Pope Francis celebrates the 10th anniversary of his election Monday, far outpacing the"two or three" years he once envisioned for his papacy and showing no signs of slowing down.
"That was my conversion," he told the AP."That's when the bomb went off, when I saw the corruption of many bishops in this." A synod is a gathering of bishops, and Francis' philosophy that bishops must listen to one another and the laity has come to define his vision for the Catholic Church: He wants it to be a place where the faithful are welcomed, accompanied and heard.
Latin Mass Catholic traditionalists were wary when Francis emerged as pope for the first time on the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica without the red cape that his predecessors had worn for formal events. Yet they never expected him to reverse one of Benedict's signature decisions by reimposing restrictions on the old Latin Mass, including where and who can celebrate it.
