ARGENTINE JORGE BERGOGLIO ELECTED POPE FRANCIS

(1/1)

Moss:
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Francis, associating himself with the humble 13th-century Italian preacher who lived a life of poverty.

Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of more than 100,000 people who packed a rain-soaked St. Peter's Square for the announcement, marveling that the cardinals needed to look to "the end of the earth" to find a bishop of Rome.

First we see that Peter was married.
Matthew 8:14, Luke 4:38-39, Mark 1:30

Next we see that Peter traveled with his wife.
1 Cor. 9:5 Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas ?

We also see that Peter would not allow a man to fall at his feet and worship him. And Peter claimed to be just a man

acts 10:25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am just a man."

The trouble with Peter is he didn't know he was the Pope.

Moss:
Pray for the man and don't judge him for the actions of past popes.
