8. He is a man of firsts
Pope Francis is a man of numerous firsts. First, he is the original Pope Francis; no other Pope has ever had the name Francis. He is also the first Pope of Jesuit descent, the first Pope to be from the Southern Hemisphere and also the first Pope from the Americas. Pope Francis is also the first non-European Pope since Gregory III in 741, who was of Syrian descent. Pope Francis embraces the changes he has made in being the first for so many and believes that change and evolution of humanity are all good things.
