He is from Argentina, and he is 76-year-old Jorge Bergoglio, who wishes to be called Pope Francis.

The Catholic church is at a crossroads; Pope Benedict stepped down in a move not seen for 598 years.  As with Pope Gregory XII, it was and is a time of division, corruption and discontent.  It’s no secret that the Vatican is a seething cauldron of power struggles, infighting, fiscal corruption and scandals.

Can Pope Francis take control, throttle his Cardinals and administrators, and get the church back on track?
