Pope Francis and the Youth

The Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Arturo Sosa, said, "Francis was a man of God.”

Pope Francis will be remembered not only as a leader of the global Church but also as a shepherd of the young. From his earliest days as pope, he captured the hearts of young people worldwide with a message that was clear, consistent, and empowering: You are not the future of the Church—you are the Church now.
