The World Cup of Francis achievements

How will Pope Francis be remembered? Well, he's still chugging along on half a colon, and may have more plans up his sleeve, but it's time to take stock of the "Pope of Surprises". Here are a few entrants for the forthcoming World Cup (to be conducted using Twitter polls), and further nominations are requested.

My Italian is weak, but I am told that this is the pope's favourite portrait..

• Franciscan friars of the Immaculate
• Order of Malta
• Amoris Laetitia
• Response to the Dubia
• Pachamama worship
• Slapping of a lady pilgrim
• The church in China
• Appointment of Cupich, Farrell, Tobin etc.
• The Scalfari interviews
• Imaginative ex-aeroplana teaching
• Encouragement of Emma Bonino
• Encouragement of James Martin
• Management of Vatican finances
• Finance of Rocketman
• Reception of Cardinal Zen
• Traditionis Custodes
• Pope Francis book of insults
• Vatican Christmas scenes

"Live long and prosper, dear Tridentine Mass enthusiasts," says the Pope.

To nominate further achievements (and be as polite as I am, for I have not said anything either for or against these remarkable accomplishments), please reply to this post or else reply to the corresponding Tweet. We'll start when I am ready.

Speaking of that; what follows is an interesting article:

Is Pope Benedict "a Prisoner in the Vatican" & did he Resign under Duress?

Thanks. Poor Pope Benedict, how must he feel now?
