    LIFE said “The College of Cardinals went “to the end of the earth” to find the right man to lead the Church out of its darkness. The world prays that this very different kind of pontiff can show the way” and Pope Francis has truly done so. From the first moment when Francis appears on the central balcony, immediately he breaks tradition and says something that awe struck millions, Pope Francis said “let us say this prayer, your prayer for me, in silence.” Previous popes have always given a blessing, but Francis is different. Another way Pope Francis demonstrates humility is caring for the poor. Recently Francis has built shelters, provided transportation, showers, food and many other necessities for the poor in Rome. Pope Francis has a heart for the poor; after all he did choose the name Francis after St. Francis of Assisi in order to remember the poor. Moments before Pope Francis, previously known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio discovered he would be pope, his close friend Cardinal Claudio Hummes said to him “Do not forget the Poor.” Francis really took this to heart, as one could know based on his action towards the less…

    In 2011, after 30 years of poverty, extreme rates of unemployment, corruption and political repression, the people of Egypt justifiably broke through fear and revolted. The uprising forced the longest reigning leader, President Ḥosnī Mubārak, out of power. As groups of protesters grew, the violence increased. The Mubārak regime resorted to “extreme violence”(Human RIghts Watch, 2017) to suppress the uprising; nevertheless, protests continued and, after three brutal weeks, Mubārak stepped down as president. The Egyptians overcame suppression because of their passionate desire for change. While Mubārak was leader, 25.2 percent of Egyptians were living under the national poverty line(Lesch, 2011). Another reason the Egyptians overthrew their…

    For instance, having had their nationalist spirit replenished, many citizens took part in expressive social movements to better themselves and abide more strictly to their moral codes. Such campaigns can easily be observed by watching the television, as there have been many advertisements urging Egyptians to take better care of their nation. Additionally, progressive movements sporadically appeared after the resignation of the 83 year-old President. After the ouster of the President, minority groups in the population, such as the Copts, began calling for better treatment by the government. Also, groups that were previously subjugated by the government, specifically Islamist groups, began appealing for the Islamic amendments they asked for before. Such groups eventually came up with more stringent demands, that their progressive movements became reformative movements. For instance, the Copts who protested at the State’s ‘Maspiro’ building initially called for better conduct towards Coptic Christians in Egypt, however they eventually began calling for the change in the article of the constitution that states that Egyptian law is mostly derived from Islamic ‘Sharia’a’…
