Examples of FRANCIS in a Sentence

1. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn:

   You know politics doesn't involve as much nuance as Pope Francis was giving to all those subjects so I think people are going to look for things they can glom onto to say,' This supports what we've been trying to say,'.

2. Tom McCarthy:

   There are still cases in the Church, right ? The new Pope( Francis) just appointed a tribunal with Cardinal( Sean Patrick) O’Malley out of Boston to oversee these cases but then SNAP( a victims' group) and all these different organizations are saying it’s not enough, you’ve appointed an in-house tribunal, we are not going to get justice from that, i still believe in the Catholic Church, I believe in the good they can do but they are an institution that has to sort of take responsibility for the crimes they’ve committed against their parishioners and their constituency and own it - and they are not yet.

And then I was given the part, the Godfather.

4. Pope Francis:

   It's not only possible, but also proper, for a Catholic or a member of any other religious tradition to be concerned with justice, peace in the world, understanding of other faiths and concern for the environment. [Pope Francis] is putting on record that what he’s doing is not all that new.

5. Ivo Markovic:
