FILE - In this May 27, 2005 file photo released by the Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano Pope Benedict XVI greets Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini at the Vatican. Pope have punished Jesuits theologians for being too progressive in preaching and teaching. The last pontiff, Benedict, politely but firmly sent a letter to the Jesuit's leader inviting members to pledge "total adhesion" to Catholic doctrine, including on divorce, homosexuality and liberation theology. Now the pope is a Jesuit, the first ever from the missionary order's well-educated and savvy ranks in its nearly 500-year-long history, and Francis just heard the church cardinals pledge allegiance to him. Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini in a interview published shortly after he died last year called for radical change in the Vatican, lamenting the church was 200 years behind the times.

FILE -- In this photo from files taken on Feb. 24, 2013 and provided by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Pope Benedict XVI delivers his blessing during his last Angelus noon prayer, from the window of his studio overlooking an overcrowded St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican. Planning for the moment when the next pope is proclaimed to the world, and for the installation ceremony a few days later, is a big-time guessing game. And that adds up to an ungodly logistical headache for the city of Rome. Nearly everything went smoothly for Benedict’s last public appearances, although some faithful panicked during the retired pope’s penultimate Sunday blessing from his studio window, when thousands of last-minute arrivals tried to squeeze through three narrow openings through a metal fence ringing the edge of the square.
