St. Francesco Bernardone of Assisi (c. 1182-1226), the founder of the Franciscans, Giovanni Bellini's 'St. Francis in the Desert' c. 1480.
.. The wilderness of Mount La Verna in the Apennines .. in 1224 during a solitary retreat, St. Francis is believed to have been the first person to receive the stigmata, or the imprint of the five primary wounds of Christ's crucifixion. St. Francis took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, distinguished by three knots in his rope girdle.
He recreated the first nativity, preached to the animals and tamed wild beasts.

Francis I, The 'End of the World' Pope
As soon as Msgr. Bergoglio was chosen, in the privacy of the Vatican Cardinal Giovanni Battista’s first question to him was, “What name would you like to be known by?” to which he replied “I shall be called Francis I”.
Moments later, when presented to the world from the Basilica overlooking St. Peter’s Square Pope Francis announced to the world, “You know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals went almost to the end of the world to get him. But here we are.”
An interesting and significant phrase filled with foreboding in these troubling times, many perceive of apocalyptic worldwide turmoil. Particularly to those lending credence to the prophesies of Irish Saint Malachy, a 12th century Archbishop of Armagh who had a vision when visiting Rome of 112 future popes that the Church would supposedly have from his days onwards.
Malachy wrote down short emblematic and symbolic descriptions for each which have been fulfilled with uncanny precision to this very day.

UPDATE: US. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger played a behind the scenes role in the 1976 military coup . .

“Operation Condor”
Ironically, a major trial opened up in Buenos Aires on March 5, 2013, a week prior to Cardinal Bergoglio’s investiture as Pontiff.
The ongoing trial in Buenos Aires is: “to consider the totality of crimes carried out under Operation Condor, a coordinated campaign by various US-backed Latin American dictatorships in the 1970s and 1980s to hunt down, torture and murder tens of thousands of opponents of those regimes.”
