    So, "Is the Pope Catholic?" is now a legitimate question ???

    Why is that a question? He's undeniably Franciscan. Seems to live far closer to Jesus' teachings than his predecessors.

    He chose the name Francis, but he is a Jesuit, not a Franciscan.

    Right, I should've been more clear. I didn't mean it in the Jesuit/Franciscan Catholic sense. I meant it in that he seems to follow Franciscan principles of living humbly and working with the poor. I'm not a Catholic and don't pay attention much to their different orders. As an outsider to the church, he seems very Franciscan to me.
