In Argentina, Pope Francis remembered as one of their ow

 Pope Francis never returned to Argentina after becoming pontiff, but his appointment was still a huge source of pride for the country.

Many people remember him for his work helping the poor in the country, for example his support of soup kitchens, and his visits to prisons to wash the feet of inmates.



Some theorise that he never returned because he did not want a visit to be politicised, given the criticism from some conservatives that he was too aligned with social justice issues and left-wing politics.

While some may have disagreed about his views, one thing that unites many Argentines is their celebration of him as 'one of them' - someone who lived in the city, rode public transport with the public, and witnessed the issues people faced with his own eyes.
