THE FIRST AMERICANS LEADS CATHOLIC, NEW BLACK POPE AND THE WHITE POPE

The Jesuits, one of the world’s largest Roman Catholic orders, have elected their first Latin American leader, and he looks a lot like Pope Francis.

The Rev. Arturo Sosa, 67, is Venezuelan and was chosen in a secret ballot by 212 electors at the 36th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus in Rome after a lengthy four-day voting process.

The order’s vicar, the Rev. James E. Grummer, announced Friday (Oct. 14) that Sosa had won a majority of votes and proclaimed him superior general of the order, the first Latin American to hold the post, much as Pope Francis, also a Jesuit, is the first Latin American elected to the papacy.

“Coming from Latin America is important, but he’s the best person for the job. He has a clear command, is consultational and a visionary.” Sosa succeeds the Rev. Adolfo Nicolas, a Spaniard who resigned last week at the age of 80 after serving since 2008. “The Jesuits in North America are very close to the Jesuits in Central and South America,” Kesicki said. “We share a similar history and experience in the new world.”

While the pope has known Sosa for some time and gave his blessing to his election, Kesicki stressed the pope had no direct influence on the outcome.

The election of the new leader followed a four-day process known as a “murmuration,” a centuries-old practice of one-on-one conversations and information exchange designed to build consensus for the selection of a new leader.

The Venezuelan will lead 16,740 Jesuits worldwide, including around 12,000 priests and 1,300 brothers. Sosa’s journey has already been compared to that of Pope Francis, the Argentinian who as Jorge Mario Bergoglio weathered the brutal dictatorship that enveloped his country in the 1970s. The Venezuelan was a provincial between 1996 and 2004 and dealt with the dictatorship of Hugo Chavez.

With his strong expertise in political science and several years’ experience in Rome, many are also speculating about whether Sosa’s election may boost the Vatican’s role in the deteriorating political situation in his homeland.

Founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius of Loyola and his companions, the Society of Jesus is the largest order of priests and brothers in the Catholic church.
