Pope Francis, who still likes to listen to tango, left Argentina in February 2013 to attend the conclave that elected him as the successor to Benedict XVI on March 13. A decade later, the first Latin American leader of the Catholic Church generates divided opinions and much less fervour.
A faithful wearing a rosary as a necklace walks towards the Cathedral to attend a Mass celebrating 15 years of the Familia Grande Hogar de Cristo organization that works to rehabilitate drug addicts and marking Francis' 10th year anniversary as Pope, in Lujan, Argentina, March 11, 2023. Francis left Argentina in February 2013 to attend the conclave that elected him as the successor to Benedict XVI on March 13.
"Ninety percent of the reason he doesn't come is because of the divide," said Rubin, who writes for Argentina's Clarin newspaper. Francis is "a controversial figure, especially among the most conservative sectors of Argentina," political consultant Sergio Berenzstein said. The Pope's message against the accumulation of wealth that leaves many behind, including criticism of an "economic system that continues to discard lives in the name of the god of money, " has been read by some in Argentina as an endorsement of Peronism, the movement founded by three-time president Juan Domingo Peron that has social justice as a rallying cry.
Roberto Bacman, director of the Centre for Public Opinion Studies, said Francis' image has declined from a positive rating of 85% in the early years of his tenure as pope to 72% two years ago.
