He was a man who was closer to miseries of the poor than to the grandeur of churches. Even today after becoming the highest moral authority of billions of Catholics, he has made it a point to keep visiting the strife-affected slums of Latin American nations. Many would like to call him a socialist pope, as well, because of his laborious services in the villas miserias of Buenos Aires during his days as a bishop of the church. He had even come to be called Papa Villero, meaning "father of the slums," in Argentina. His policies and rehabilitation programs had played a decisive role in countering the crisis created by rampant paco addiction. The people of the slums, who were as if invisible, had been left to completely fend for themselves by the economy as well as the government. It was Padre Bergoglio's initiatives that helped the poor secure a voice of their own. Today Pope Francis is seen as the savior of the poor across the world.
