Pope Francis: A New Era in the Papacy | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis made history as the first Latin American Pope, hailing from Argentina’s slums of Buenos Aires. His election to the papacy didn’t change his commitment to the poor and his roots in the “Villas Miserias,” or “homes of misery.” Fr. Adrián Bennardis, a priest from these neighborhoods, shares how Pope Francis brought his vision of a “Church in the field” to Rome, emphasizing a church that confronts problems head-on, even when it makes mistakes. Archbishop Jorge Patron Wong, who worked alongside Pope Francis in Rome, reflects on the Pope’s unique blend of theological depth and practical dynamism, which resonates with Latin American culture and its people. Pope Francis’s travels across Latin America—Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Panama—have deeply impacted Hispanics worldwide. As we look to the future, could we see another Latin American Pope? Is this a one-time historical event or just the beginning of a new era in the papacy?
