b) Papua New Guinea. 5) Pope Francis has
sneaked out of the Vatican
to:
b) buy new glasses. Francis
has said that what he miss-
es most about being pope
is that he can no longer
walk around town, visit with
the homeless or go out for
a pizza.
However it was a more
mundane errand that
prompted him to slip out
of the Vatican on Sept. 3
with just a bodyguard and
driver: to get a new set of
lenses for his eyeglasses.
6) Pope Francis’ spends his
summer vacations in:
c) Domus Sanctae Mar-
thae. Unlike his predeces-
sors, Francis has eschewed
the lush Castel Gandolfo
papal summer retreat
overlooking Lake Alban. In-
stead, he vacations in the
same Vatican hotel where
he lives: Room 201 of the
Domus Sanctae Marthae,
a modern residence on the
edge of the Vatican gar-
dens where visiting priests
and other officials stay
while on business at the
Vatican.
7) The pope’s favorite sports
d) San Lorenzo. Francis is a
lifelong fan of the Buenos
Aires soccer club and has
kept up his membership
(No. 88235N-0). He has met
several times with the team
since his election and has
an impressive collection
of San Lorenzo jerseys that
have been given to him.
8) The pope belongs to this
religious order:
b) Society of Jesus. Francis
joined the Jesuits while he
was in the diocesan semi-
nary and was ordained
a Jesuit priest on Dec. 13,
1969. Much of his spirituality
and style — examination of
conscience, long periods
of discernment and com-
mitment to social justice —
can be traced to his forma-
tion as a Jesuit.
9) Pope Francis’ favorite
drink is:
d) mate. Like most Argen-
tines, Francis adores his
mate, the traditional tea
that is sipped through a
straw from a gourd. Francis
routinely takes a sip when a
gourd is handed up to him
from the general public —
a potential health concern
that has never seemed to
faze the pope though it
must give his doctors and
bodyguards pause.
10) Pope Francis has never
visited:
a) The United States, un-
til this week. This is Francis’
first time on U.S. soil, and
he’s also a first-time visitor
to Cuba. The Vatican says
Francis did once change
planes in Cuba, but never
actually left the airport.q
