Pope Francis was full of contradictions. He was thought to be conservative, he talked a good liberal game, but push-came-to-shove didn't enact as much liberal reforms as he looked like he was going to.

He claimed to love his country Argentina, but he made a point of never visiting it as pope -- whereas both his two, illustrious predecessors revelled in going back to their native countries (i.e., Poland & Germany), repeatedly.

The contradiction here has to do with his FONDNESS for the title 'Bishop of Rome'.

The Bishop of Rome is always the Pope.

The Pope is always the Bishop of Rome.

'The Bishop of Rome' is the older, historic title -- the one that enabled THAT BISHOP to claim he was Pope.

All popes automatically are the Bishop of Rome.

Francis, however, FROM the minute he became pope stressed that he WAS Bishop of Rome.

That was the title he used.

He renounced all of the other titles given to the pope & just retained Bishop of Rome.

He signed many official edicts Bishop of Rome.

Then he should have asked to be buried at Saint John Lateran, the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome. That is what Leo XIII did.
