Dr Michael O'Sullivan is a Jesuit who had to leave Chile under threat of death, when he worked there during the time of the Pinochet dictatorship. Now, for the first time, the Jesuits have elected a non-European leader who, like the present Pope, hails from Latin America. Michael says that to understand why the Jesuits would have elected someone like Fr Sosa, one has to look at the context, as well as the man himself.
