From the ‘villas’ to the ‘end of the world’: Who is the new Archbishop of Buenos Aires?
The pope's choice for his own archdiocese has come as a surprise. But while Bishop Jorge García Cuerva is already facing difficulties, he seems likely to reflect Francis' pastoral goals for Argentina.
Pope Francis announced last month that Bishop Jorge García Cuerva will become the new Archbishop of Buenos Aires. The 55-year-old bishop will be installed July 15 as leader of the most well-known Argentine see — one of particular importance in the Francis papacy, because Francis himself was the archbishop of Buenos Aires before he was elected pope.
