OscailtFrancis I and the conservative modestyJorge Mario Bergoglio comes from within the working class amidst the splendor and belligerent Buenos Aires of the '30s. He is the son of an Italian Piedmontese immigrant couple, his father was a railman and his mother worked at home. Unlike most of his countrymen, he shared parts of popular culture, but not the values of organized labor at the time. Not by a long way had his education been crossed either by the ideas of the left or of Peronism. Hence in Argentina, even now at the height of "papamania" (“pope-mania”), the most famous fan of San Lorenzo de Almagro football club is seen both as a conservative and a man of the people.2015-05-14T11:15:35+08:00Anarkismoanarkismoeditors@lists.riseup.nethttp://www.anarkismo.net/atomfullposts?story_id=26005http://www.anarkismo.net/graphics/feedlogo.gifFrancis I and the conservative modestyhttp://www.anarkismo.net/article/26005#comment159232015-05-14T11:15:35+08:00jorge videlaemiliomedici1969 at mail dot comI'm a baptized Episcopalian.
