Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio worked briefly as a chemical technician and nightclub bouncer before beginning seminary studies.[3] He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969 and from 1973 to 1979 was Argentina’s Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus. He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II.

He's a Jesuit not a Franciscan.

Which reminds me of the old joke. A fellow asked a Franciscan if it was o.k. to pray a novena for a new BMW. Franciscan asked, "What's a BMW?"

Asked a Jesuit the same question, he asked, "What's a novena?"

Bergoglio was a Jesuit.

When a religious becomes a bishop, he is released from his religious vows, and no longer has a superior in his former order.

The pope’s name is “francis”,

But he learned Marx and Lenin from the Jesuits.
