In Argentina, a country where football is as revered as a religion, it is not unusual for a Catholic priest to be passionate about football. But it is a great source of pride for a football team when one of their ardent fans becomes the Pope. The Argentine football club San Lorenzo de Almagro has just had that honor, when Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis on March 13, 2013.
It is known that while in Buenos Aires, Cardinal Bergoglio chose to be an ardent supporter of the San Lorenzo de Almagro club. He often attended the club's matches at the Gasometro stadium, located in the middle of a poor neighborhood of the capital.
San Lorenzo Club was founded by priest Lorenzo Massa on April 1, 1908, with the aim of creating conditions for children to have a soccer field right on the Church grounds instead of having to play dangerously on the street.
