Pope Francis The Lab Technician

 WITHOUT MUCH INTRODUCTION, POPE FRANCIS - THE HOLY LEADER OF 1.2 BILLION ROMAN CATHOLICS - WAS ONCE A LAB TECHNICIAN WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER. 

Pope Francis's Job Resume

He attended the technical secondary school Escuela Tecnica Industrial N 27 Hipolito Yrigoyen and graduated with a chemical technician's diploma.  He worked for a few years as a food chemist, running lab tests at Hickethier-Bachmann laboratory where his boss was Esther Ballistrino.  

Before joining the Jesuits at age 21, he worked as a bar bouncer and as a janitor sweeping floors.  He suffered from life-threatening pneumonia and three cysts and had a part of a lung removed.  Bergoglio is a fan of tango dancing and traditional music of Argentina and Uruguay.

He became a novice Jesuit priest at age 22.  In between, he became an activist teacher/theologian, Slum Priest, got involved in the Argentinian "Dirty War" and was exiled to Cordoba, Argentina, by the archbishop. He was not allowed to say mass and only allowed to hear confessions.  Father Bergoglio, after all that happened learned his lessons to be obedient and humble.  Since then he begun telling his family and the faithful "To Pray For Me."  Pope John Paul II made him a cardinal in 1991 ?   on February 21, 2001.   The rest is history.

Wow!  From lab technician to pope.  Who would ever believe?  It goes to show with God everything is possible and nothing is impossible.
