7. He loves languages
There is no denying that Pope Francis is an intelligent man. However, what a lot of people don’t know about him is that he is unusually multilingual. The Pope speaks Spanish, Italian and Latin fluently and also understands French, English, German, Portuguese and Ukrainian. The passion he has for people all around the world is fascinating and his desire to understand and connect with people is truly admirable. He makes an effort to try and learn different languages not only for himself, but to be able to create relationships with people from different parts of the world.

6. He only has one functioning lung
Yep, that’s right, the Pontiff has only one functioning lung. When Pope Francis was a child he got a horrible infection in his lung. Since medicine was not as advanced as it is today, the Pope was forced to have a part of his right lung removed as a means of survival. The Pope is now 78 years old and appears to be in good health, which is why it is so surprising to know how sick he was as a child. This is something many find surprising about the Pope and learning this about him in a sense makes you feel even more connected to him.
