POPE FRANCIS AWARD
POPE FRANCIS AWARD
BEST RESEARCH PROJECT
After his election to the papacy in 2013, Fr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ of Argentina became the first Jesuit pope of the Catholic Church, adopting the name Francis. In his youth, Pope Francis trained to be a chemical technician, working in laboratories before heeding the call to become a Jesuit. It is perhaps this scientific background that pushed Francis to take the needed progressive stances for the Catholic Church in the 21st Century. He issued a papal encyclical called the Laudato Si’, calling for Catholics and non-Catholics alike to take a more proactive role in climate change and sustainable development.
