A Jesuit pope from Latin America is certainly an interesting development. John Paul II would not approve, even when Bergoglio is like he was, a supporter of rightwing violence - even against clergy. But even a Jesuit collaborator from Argentina is still a Jesuit from the "wrong" continent and might harbour some surprises.

Bergoglio, supporter of the Argentine military junta that killed some 30 000 people by dropping them from airplanes above Atlantic ocean for example, probably chose his name Francis I based not on St. Francis of Assisi(1181/1182-1226), but the Basque aristocrat St. Francis Xavier(1506-1552) who led the Jesuit missionary work in the East Asia. Which could be taken as a sign of concentrating on Catholic communities outside Europe, unlike Benedict XVI, who concentrated on vainly fighting against the beneficial spreading of secularism in Europe.
