I think Fernandez Torres is his full surname (Fernandez being his father's name and Torres being his mother's family name). At least that is how most Hispanic names work.

There was a book about Pope Francis published several years ago with the title The Dictator Pope. He hasn't changed since that book was published--witness his treatment of Catholics who love the traditional Latin Mass.

“The Dictator Pope” was an apt title. Bergoglio rules as a bully and a tyrant. The papacy got too powerful within the last 200 years, and we’re seeing the folly of concentrating too much power in the office. It’s pure hell when a bad man has absolute power.

An oldie but a goody from 9 years ago:

“Yes I know Bergoglio [says a Jesuit superior from another Latin American country]. He’s a person who’s caused a lot of problems in the Society and is highly controversial in his own country.

“In addition to being accused of having allowed the arrest of two Jesuits during the time of the Argentinian dictatorship, as provincial he generated divided loyalties: some groups almost worshipped him, while others would have nothing to do with him, and he would hardly speak to them. It was an absurd situation. He is well-trained and very capable, but is surrounded by this personality cult which is extremely divisive. He has an aura of spirituality which he uses to obtain power. It will be a catastrophe for the Church to have someone like him in the Apostolic See. He left the Society of Jesus in Argentina destroyed with Jesuits divided and institutions destroyed and financially broken. We have spent two decades trying to fix the chaos that the man left us.”

Paul Vallely, “Pope Francis: Untying the Knots”, 2013

“It will be a catastrophe for the Church to have someone like him in the Apostolic See”: no truer words have been spoken or written.
