This is a truly a historical picture featuring two priests who would one day both become Popes. Most probably this photo was taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio was leading that archdiocese. Apparently Fr Robert Prevost, the Superior General of the Augustinian Order was visiting the friars and monks of his order to do the required ‘inspection’ every few years. On this occasion they were concelebrating the Mass with Jorge Bergoglio being the main celebrant. Who would have told them back then that one day they would become successive Vicars of Christ? The photographer who took this photo could never have guessed how historic that photo was to become. May Francis rest in peace, and may Leo XIV continue to inspire the Catholic world with his charisma and words of comfort to the suffering world.
