description The election of J. M. Bergoglio to the Chair of Peter, caused a great deal of attention considering the numerous special characteristics that he embodies: the first non-European pope after many centuries (the first ever from overseas), the first pope religious after more than a century and a half, and the first Jesuit as the head of the Church. With his diverse life experience and cultural heritage, Bergoglio brings new elements in the way of governing the Church, gives new emphases and points to new areas of evangelization of the Church. Given the fact that the Society of Jesus is Pope Francis' spiritual cradle, the Ignatian spirituality and method of operating is evident in many of Pope's actions which may surprise the general public, but considering that within the experience of the Society of Jesus they have been extensively verified, there is no reason to characterise them as particularly new or even risky. The papacy as the universal office of governing the Church, at the same time, keeps both the unchanging elements of the office, but also the personal accents of each Successor of Peter.
