“In 1982 Robert Francis Prevost was standing at the very start of his priestly life. He had just been ordained at the Augustinian College of Saint Monica in Rome after years of formation that included a mathematics degree from Villanova, entry into the Augustinian order, and solemn vows the year before.
That year he stepped into the daily work of a young priest: celebrating Mass, assisting his community, studying canon law, and learning the practical responsibilities of ministry. He was also preparing for the advanced canonical studies he would complete in 1984. For Prevost, 1982 was the bridge between training and true pastoral life, where a priest begins to serve people with real authority and purpose.
Prevost’s path to the papacy grew from decades of steady leadership rather than public visibility. After earning his doctorate in canon law, he spent years in Peru guiding Augustinian missions and building a reputation as a patient, capable administrator. His work in Latin America, combined with deep pastoral credibility, brought him to the attention of Pope Francis, who later appointed him to lead the Dicastery for Bishops, one of the most influential roles in the Vatican. That blend of global experience, cross cultural skill, and calm judgment made him a widely respected and unifying choice when the conclave elected him pope.
Added Fact: Before entering the priesthood, Prevost briefly considered a career in mathematics or higher education, and that analytical background later shaped his reputation as one of the most methodical and detail-oriented administrators in the modern Church.”

That’s a picture of a man about to waste his entire life.
Find your bliss, I guess – even if it’s a career as a bullshit artist where you spend all day making shit up, scamming the gullible, and protecting pedophiles 🤷🏻♀️

By mathematics do they mean running the numbers?

Wild to think he walked away from acting imagine the plot twist if the Pope had a filmography

He is in fact on a mission from god
Use your brain and post some original content instead of farming pointless karma.
Papa’s got a brand new bag.
Thought it was a Blues Brother
Math is hard, protecting pedophiles is easy
He looks like a fucking phsyco.
