Francis seems to be inspired by his namesake, Francis of Assisi, who had a very inclusive interpretation of Catholicism (well, back then it was Christianity). It’s too early to tell how the RCC will change under his leadership, but his style is certainly less doctrinaire than Benedict’s and more like John Paul II and John XXII’s.
