Join me as I present a few special episodes to mark the death of Pope Francis (1936-25), the first Jesuit Pontiff. Founder of the Jesuit religious Order that sent Priests to North America on a mission to evangelize the natives, Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) was a Spanish Catholic priest and theologian who dedicated his fascinating and adventurous life to being a soldier for Christ and leader of the Society of Jesus—better known as the Jesuits.
