I have listened very raptly to Jorge Cardinal Mario Bergoglio in his few public appearances eversince he became Bishop of Rome and Successor to St Peter and adopted Francis 1 as his Holy See. I have also listened and read about his life before this time and I have become (almost ) doubly convinced in myself that he may pursue the following marks:
>Ecumenism; He'd most likely pursue the full return of Protestant Christians back into the Catholic Church (maybe at least in principle) so that christians may begin to speak with one voice and take one stance in issues that concern them. Christian leaders may or not accept total surrender to the Vatican but they'd most probably draw much closer than even the times of Blsd John Paul 11. This will greatly fulfill the prayer and prophesy of Christ in Jn 17
>Religious Harmony; Also he might win the confidence of other world religious leader esp Islam thereby generally advancing global peace and security and stability. Pope emeritus Benedict XIV didnt seem to to so well here. Muslim leaders in Arab nations severed every communication with the Vatican under his reign due to his "hardline stance."
>Family; He had served in the previous papal dispensation in the community on family. During his time he disagreed with priest who refused to baptise infants of single parents. He also had a lower disagreement against the use of condoms by married couples saying that it might be necessary at least for the prevention of diseases. So under him, the church's stance against the use of contraceptives by MARRIED couples may witness a slight shift.
>Poverty; It's obvious that he's a man with a different heart for the poor and less priviledged. He has lived this out. No wonder he took Francis, a credit to Francis of Asisi born in a wealthy home had all the means but chose poverty and eke for the sake of others. I see the church increasing humanitarian assistance to troubled areas of the world--warriden places like Syria, Egypt etc. This charity might likely appeal to its recipients and hence attract them to christianity. The same magic Mother Teresa made in India.
>Finance; The church has come under great storm of financial inpropriety lately. This very likely will not go on under his eyes esp if that he might need the monies for plenty of charity.
>Sex Abuse; It's not too clear yet whether he might listen to some calls to allow priest option of marriage but it's almost very clear that he might take cases of priests' sex scandals very seriously like his "Oga at the top"(lol).
God bless the Pope. God bless the church. God bless the world.
