  Pope Francis goes ‘Gangnam Style’

Pope Francis is celebrating his 54th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed popes of his generation.

Popular pope Pope Francis has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 54th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Bergoglio, a cultural icon

Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires on December 13, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Argentine history. Bergoglio's not just a great pope, he's an inspiration, an icon. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Francis hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Pope Francis as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 54.

Happy Birthday, Francis, you're the best!
