The know-it-all uninformed have thought for centuries it was Inigo (later Ignatius) Loyola, the Basque. Sorry, a Huff Post writer has the scoop.

When Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, many Roman Catholics were quick to optimism. Some dared to hope for something of a church renaissance, and for relief, perhaps, in the wake of the bitter reign of “God’s Rottweiler,” Joseph Ratzinger. Much was made of the Jesuit pope’s decision to assume the name Francis because the name recalled to mind the saint from Assisi. However, the founder of the Society of Jesuits was a Francis, too.

This slight boo-boo does not, however, prevent the writer from pontificating about the incumbent and his maybe canonizing his predecessor once removed, Jn Paul II. That said, she does provide food for thought, and I’m sure she’s humble enough to admit that I am right and she is wrong about who founded the Jesuits.
