How evangelical is the Pope?

Leonardo De Chirico uncovers the particular brand of Catholicism that Pope Francis advocates and gives a biblical assessment

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected as Pope Francis on 13 March, 2013.

The first question that many Vatican experts asked was: What did he write? What books did he publish? The answer was simple and straightforward: none. In contrast to his predecessor, Benedict XIV, who had been a major theologian in the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church, Bergoglio was not a scholar. So, are we left completely without open windows onto his thought prior to the beginning of his papacy? Not necessarily.
