Pope Francis Bobblehead

This bobblehead features Pope Francis, who was head of the Catholic Church from March 13th, 2013 until his death on April 21st, 2025. He was the first pope to be a Jesuit and the first from Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to a family of Italian origin, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was inspired to join the Jesuits in 1958 after recovering from a severe illness. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969, and from 1973 to 1979 he was the Jesuit provincial superior in Argentina. He became the archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on February 28th, 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his successor on March 13th, 2013. He chose Francis as his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi.
