He succeeded Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, who resigned on 28 February 2013 owing to “a lack of strength in mind and body” - the first papal resignation in 498 years. The first member of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) to be elected, Pope Francis is also the first Pope from the Americas, from the Southern Hemisphere, and the first non-European since the 8th century (Gregory III). He is also the third consecutive non-Italian to be elected (Poland, Germany, Argentina).
