NOTES

ONE FAR AWAY AND LONG AGO (1936–1957)

1 The term bergoglismo was created by Bergoglio’s friend and former pupil, the journalist Jorge Milia, on the website Terre d’America. See, for example, “La Jerga de Francisco/8: ‘Misericordiando.’ Diálogo con el Papa sobre un Gerundio Curioso,” www.terredamerica.com (November 20, 2013).

2 John Lynch, Massacre in the Pampas, 1872: Britain and Argentina in the Age of Migration (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1998), p. 108. See also Austen Ivereigh, “The Shape of the State: Liberals and Catholics in the Dispute over Law 1420 of 1884 in Argentina,” in Austen Ivereigh (ed.), The Politics of Religion in an Age of Revival (London: Institute of Latin American Studies, 2000).

TWO THE MISSION (1958–1966)

1 Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning (Boston: Beacon Press, 1959).

2 The best overview of all things Jesuit is James Martin, SJ, The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life (New York: HarperCollins, 2010).

3 Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis), Open Mind, Faithful Heart: Reflections on Following Jesus, trans. Joseph V. Owen (New York: Crossroad, 2013), p. 113, originally in Meditaciones para Religiosos (Buenos Aires: Ediciones Diego de Torres, 1982).

4 Philip Caraman, SJ, Ignatius Loyola (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1990), ch. 17.

5 For the history of the Jesuits in the colonial River Plate, see Guillermo Fúrlong Cardiff, SJ, notably Los Jesuitas y la Cultura Rioplatense (Buenos Aires: Editorial Huarpes, 1946), as well as Roberto di Stefano, Historia de la Iglesia Argentina (Buenos Aires: Sudamericana, 2009), Jean Lacoutoure, Jesuits: A Multibiography (Berkeley, CA: Counterpoint, 1995), and various sources cited in my own Catholicism and Politics in Argentina, 1810–1960 (Basingstoke, UK: Macmillan; New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1993).

6 Father Diego’s letter contains the term la periferia. “I am convinced,” Francis told members of religious orders in November 2013, “that great changes in history came about when things were seen not from the center but rather from the periphery.”

10 After the votes went Bergoglio’s way in the conclave of 2013, a cardinal wittily suggested he might avenge that notorious decision by taking the name Clement XV. For essays on the expulsion, see Magnus Mörner (ed.), The Expulsion of the Jesuits from Latin America (New York: Knopf, 1965).

16 Literally, “little father,” an affectionate term used by Latin-Americans of their priests. Although juniors like Jorge were not ordained, local people didn’t make that distinction.
