Italian ed., 2017) within the context of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong's thought. Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope, and so it strikes me as worthwhile to use Ong's thought as a conceptual framework for discussing Bergoglio/Francis' thought.enPope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Walter J.
