I'm glad the new Pope is a Jesuit, the most respectable branch of the Catholic church in my opinion, although I'm not Catholic. The Jesuits have traditionally focused on social justice and emphasized education. The Jesuits have founded schools and universities worldwide, as well as conducting charity and missionary work for the poor in impoverished regions. Definitely a more forward thinking group than the baseline church. Francis is apparently a very humble man as well, having lived a meagre life in Argentina and refusing many of the traditional decoration and privilege his rank in the church allowed, including after his recent election.
