The first Jesuit pope. The first from Latin America.

(Enrique Marcarian/Reuters)

Behind the Meaning of the Pope's Names

The new pope’s choice of ‘Francis’ hints at the direction of his reign.

Enter Pope Francis. The first Jesuit pope. The first from Latin America. It is, indeed, a historic moment for the papacy. Those who waited for a leader from the new Catholic world will no doubt be __( I )__ by the choice, but his new status as the leader of a global church requires a different persona and a new mode of action. The new pope speaks not only for Argentina, Latin America, and the Jesuits, but also for the entire Roman Catholic world.

          

It is precisely for this reason that cardinals shed their names along with their brightly __( II )__  vestments. Historically, the tradition of selecting a new papal name dates back to the sixth century, when Pope John II swapped his awkwardly __( III )__  name Mercurius for the solidly Christian John. At the same time the selection of religious names is more than an opportunity to symbolically cast aside individual identity. Papal names chart a course for the future by summoning up the past. The new pope assumes either the mantle of religious heroes and leaders from days gone by or the virtues of the Innocents and the Piuses. The selection of the name both forges a new identity and signals how the pope wishes to be seen and remembered. It is, in essence, not only the answer to the 

 __( IV )__  question “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” but also a way of preemptively writing one’s own reviews.
         
Traditionally popes have been __( V )__  of reaching too high, of appearing too self-congratulatory. The office of the pope is built, literally and metaphorically, on the legacy of St. Peter, the apostle of Christ, whose remains lie beneath the papal seat in the Vatican. But there has been no 
Pope Peter II. Thus far, no pope has had the audacity to present himself as standing in continuity with the favored disciple of Jesus. Nor would Pope Francis have been able to select the name of the founder of his own order. A Pope Ignatius — after Jesuit founder Ignatius of Loyola — would have appeared self-serving.
          
At first blush, Pope Francis’s selection of a previously __( VI )__  papal name — he is no 23rd anything — marks a break with the past and augurs well for those looking for a move away from deeply entrenched institutionalism. The new pope symbolically clears the deck for a new period of Catholic history. For a church desperately in need of an administrative makeover, it creates a nominally blank slate for the pale-garbed pontiff.

The article clearly states that

a) the name of the new pope was chosen taking into consideration the fact that he is a Jesuit and a Christian from the new Catholic Church.
b) religious heroes have been more and more common in Latin America, and since Pope Peter II no other pope has been encouraged to use unusual names.
c) popes have never wanted to look down on people. On the contrary, they have always served as apostles of Christ and have been able to reach high posts in the Vatican.
d) Pope Ignatius would never have chosen a different name due to his intentions of breaking with the past and of cleaning up the name of the Catholic Church in the modern world.
e) the new pope has been praised for having chosen a brand new name, which has never been adopted before in the history of the Catholic Church and which will likely bring high hopes of future changes in the same Church.

Django Unchained review:

A truly wild Western with a killer line-up

Review of Oscar-nominated film by Sunday Mirror film critic Mark Adam.

SONY PICTURES
THE STARS
Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L  Jackson, Walton Goggins, Kerry Washington.
THE STORY
          

Two years before the start of the Civil War, the unlikely partnership of German bounty hunter Dr King Schultz (Waltz) and Django (Foxx) – the slave he recently freed – set about making money tracking and killing outlaws.
          

But Django also has plans to rescue his wife Broomhilda (Washington) from charismatic but cruel Mississippi plantation owner Calvin Candie (DiCaprio). 
THE VERDICT
          

When Quentin Tarantino decides to make a Western, you know it’s going to be epic, violent, funny, exciting and challenging. And this wonderfully irreverent and distinctively bloody take on the wild Wild West hits the spot, brimming with delightfully oddball characters and racy style.
          

This is obviously not your run-of-the-mill cowboy tale. Instead, Tarantino flies close to controversy by setting his story against the violent and brutal backdrop of the slave trade.
          

As usual his casting is spot on. Waltz (who won an Oscar for his evil Nazi role in Tarantino’s last film Inglourious Basterds) is smooth perfection as a German dentist/bounty hunter and is wonderfully complemented by Jamie Foxx’s steely-eyed former slave.
          

The early bonding scenes of them tracking redneck villains (Django relishes the fact he can make money killing “white folk”) are amusingly and snappily shot.
          

Initially, Tarantino pokes fun at the rampant and casual racism of the period – hilariously so in a scene involving a Ku Klux Klan mob complaining about eye holes in their hoods??– but things turn nastier when Schultz and Django attempt to rescue Broomhilda.
          

Leonardo DiCaprio has a fine old time as the brutal Candie and absolutely oozes slippery cruelty. But he manages to be out-acted by Tarantino regular Samuel L Jackson, playing an elderly slave and close confidant of Candie who is as menacing and controlling as his supposed master.

03 – (MACKENZIE/SP-2013/2-VESTIBULAR-2º SEMESTRE)

According to the movie review,

a) Quentin Tarantino’s favorite kind of movie is western, specially the epic ones, where challenge and excitement outstand.
b) the cast on a Tarantino movie is normally exactly right.
c) as far as Django is concerned, killing white people is not his business, and neither does he appreciate it. d) the scene of the Ku Klux Klan mob complaining is a clear example of racism against the black and the German citizens.
e) except for Jamie Foxx, no other actor in the movie does a better job than Leonardo DeCaprio.
