Abstract
Since the pontificate of Pope John XXIII (1958–63)—thought by many to have been the most compassionate pope of the last few hundred years—the world has been blessed with some surprising successors. No one expected to have a pope from Poland, followed by a German pope, and now perhaps the most surprising pope of all—a Jesuit from the southern hemisphere of the New World.
