Jorge Mario Bergoglio widely otherwise known as Pope Francis has been named as TIME Magazine‘s ‘Person of the Year‘ for 2013. ‘He took the name of a humble saint and then called for a church of healing. The first non-European pope in 1,200 years is poised to transform a place that measures change by the century‘, contributing writers Howard Chua-Eoan and Elizabeth Dias say of the 76-year-old.

Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first pope from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European Pope since Pope Gregory III. He recently revealed that before the Jesuits, he worked as a bar bouncer.
