As a general statement about Pope Francis, I go to articles from  Argentines  who know Pope Francis, Jorge Bergoglio.  They state that none will understand him without an understanding of  Juan Peron, the Argentine political strongman of the 1950's. Pope Francis was/is a Peronists.  Peronism seems to be  difficult to fit into North Atlantic political classification.  Seems it can be shape shifting and may come in various flavors. Maybe somehow the politics has overlapped the theology or pastoral approach.  And these guys seem to be correct. I can not classify Pope Francis except to just say he is a Catholic Christian. Some here will try some box fit, but it will not work as something will evolve to contradict or disappoint. 

He is an enigma to almost all of us. We will have to accept and leave it.
