Aliens?
Hi, though it is at present unknown if Pope Francis has any official opinion on alien life the generally accepted position of the Catholic Church does not discount the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the visible Universe. In the event of "First Contact" or an alien signal being verified experimentally as non terrestrial intelligence (NTI) rather than something natural like a pulsar cluster or other effect the outcome may be some sort of official address by the Pope to accompany or contribute to ones by the President of the United States, Russia and other world powers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.190.163.168 (talk) 06:37, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
- Let's wait for that to happen, and then we may add info about that. Cambalachero (talk) 17:44, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
Participation in Argentina's "dirty war"
The participation of Jorge Mario Bergloglio in Argentina's "dirty war" and Condor Operation should be more detailed. I'll leave the link to an article by Michel Chossudovski about it: "Who is Pope Francis?" https://www.globalresearch.ca/washingtons-pope-who-is-francis-i-cardinal-jorge-mario-bergoglio-and-argentinas-dirty-war/5326675/amp I'm using a mobile and can't find the signature and other editions button. I'll come back later from a PC. Justana. Justana (talk) 17:37, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
- There is already a section talking about that. Your source does not seem very reliable, and contains lots of mistakes and misinformations (if not actual lies). For starters, that photo that says "Image Left: Jorge Mario Bergoglio and General Jorge Videla". Bergoglio is not the man in the photo, and has never personally met Videla. "And the media through “omission” has remained silent": wrong. There are several examples of the media discussing this, used in the references. But they don't do it every day because that happened 40 years ago, and the media talk about today's news. Should I continue? Cambalachero (talk) 18:02, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
Length
This article is WP:TOOBIG. I think spinning off a couple of daughter articles might make sense here. I've only taken a quick look, but perhaps we could WP:SPINOFF the the biography portion prior to becoming pope (sections 1, 2, and 3) into an "Early life of Pope Francis" article. The ecumenism section isn't quite as long, but also seems like a good candidate to spin out. --BrianCUA (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

- Per WP:CATV, please remove Category:Theistic evolutionists, as the topic of evolution is not discussed (or sourced by WP:RS) anywhere in this BLP.
- It is also probably worth taking a look at Category:Christian humanists, because I cannot honestly find any support for this one, either. 2600:8800:1880:188:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 21:41, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Partly done: the second one may need a discussion. --B dash (talk) 04:24, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- For support on Francis' humanism, I would suggest the article here: http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/pope-conservatism-and-fundamentalism-are-useless-in-seeking-solutions-to-ev 2600:8800:1880:188:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 05:03, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
