The Vatican has said that it is Francis after Francis of Assisi because he was a "lover of the poor", as is the new Pope |

Thanks Sylvia. I hadn't heard that the Vatican announced that the new Pope is named after Francis of Assisi, just a comment from a t.v. presenter to said 2it must be after St. Francis of Assisi" (or words to that effect). |
