Francis marks 5 years as pope amid love, disenchantment

In this Nov. 19, 2017 file photo, Pope Francis is served gnocchetti during a lunch with several hundred poor people, at the Vatican on World Day of the Poor. When Cardinal Mario Jorge Bergoglio appeared five years ago, on March 13, 2013, at the main window of St. Peter’s Loggia in a white cassock and without solemnity greeted the chanting crowd in the square with a casual ‘buonasera’ (good evening) it was immediately apparent that Pope Francis’s style would be different, folksier than that of other popes.
