Pope Has 10th Anniv. of Papacy This Month; Papacy Underlined by Helping Poor, Minorities

 Pope Francis is about to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his papacy on March 13, 2023, which he began in 2013 with an emphasis on helping the poor, the Crux website reports today (March 3, 2023). 


From his simple white attire to the humble Flat he buzzes around in, from his decision to pay his own hotel bill after his election to prioritizing women, migrants, the mentally disabled, and prisoners, a spirit of poverty has underlined his papacy's  10 years. 


One consistent reaction throughout Pope Francis's ten years in office has been his open criticism of free market capitalism, and his advocacy for a more just global system that centers less on profit and more on equitable distribution of resources in service to the common good, and which benefits the poor.
