For Christians, the struggle to love starts in each individual heart and then touches the world.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis, the Argentinian pope who died on April 21, 2025, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the American religious foundress who died on January 4, 1821, were centuries and continents apart. But their pastoral styles were forged along remarkably similar lines.<\/p>\n

They were both leadership figures for the Church in the Americas, and they were both deeply influenced by Italian piety \u2014 Pope Francis via his immigrant Italian family and Elizabeth through the Filicchi family who introduced her to the Catholic Church in Italy.<\/p>\n

But even more deeply than that, their personalities and struggles were surprisingly alike.<\/p>\n

Jorge Bergoglio (the future Pope Francis) and Elizabeth Ann Seton both experienced tension with their fathers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pope Francis\u2019s new autobiography,\u00a0Hope<\/em>, shares a number of frank remembrances about issues in his past that he was\u00a0not proud of. Two concern the death of his father, Jos\u00e9\u00a0Bergoglio, when Jorge was in his early 20s.<\/p>\n

From his hospital sickbed, his father attempted to arrange a photograph of himself with his five children. The future Pope was embarrassed about the idea and, \u201cwith the self-importance typical of young people, I managed to make sure it didn’t happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A few weeks later, when Jorge visited the hospital, he found his father sleeping, and not only didn\u2019t allow him to be awakened, but when his father woke up anyway, he arranged for nurses to tell him that he had already gone.<\/p>\n

These acts of disdain toward his father hurt him his whole life long. \u201cI have often felt a deep pain and suffering for this lie of mine. How I wish I could replay that scene,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth also lost her father in her 20s and had a distant relationship with him. She wrote about one incident from her early teens when her father was away:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the year 1789 when my Father was in England, I jumped in the wagon that was driving to the woods for brush about a mile from home,\u201d and found a meadow with a chestnut tree, she wrote in her journal. \u201cI thought at the time that my father did not care for me \u2014 well God was my Father \u2014 my all. I prayed, sang hymns, cried, laughed, in talking to myself of how far he could place me above all sorrow,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

For Elizabeth, this was a spiritual awakening. The fact that both she and Francis reviewed those incidents years later says a lot about their spiritual sensitivities \u2014 and their personalities.<\/p>\n

Both Francis and Elizabeth admitted to struggling throughout their lives with their melancholic temperaments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pope Francis spoke about how the feeling of sorrow \u2014 and the more problematic feeling of enjoying sorrow \u2014 never left him. \u201cMelancholy has always been a companion in my life, certainly not constant, but nonetheless a part of my essence, a sentiment that has accompanied me and which I have learned to recognize,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife inevitably has its sadnesses, which are part of every path of hope,\u201d he added. \u201cBut it is important to avoid wallowing in melancholy at all costs, not to let it embitter the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Ann Seton, throughout her life as a mother and then later as a widow and religious sister, had the same predilection \u2014 and the same conviction to\u00a0minimize\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

As a young adult, she wrote to a friend, \u201cIt is my fixed principle both as a Christian and a reasonable being never to dwell on thoughts of future events which do not depend on myself, yet I never view the setting sun or take a solitary walk but melancholy tries to seize me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She would eventually make it a spiritual practice to turn all such thoughts into longing for heaven. She described her formula for dealing with them in her spiritual remembrances: \u201cFolly \u2014 sorrows \u2014 romance \u2014 miserable friendships \u2014 but all turned to good and thoughts of how silly to love anything in this world,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Mother Seton taught the Sisters of her congregation that the path to charity depends on this kind of detachment.<\/p>\n

It was this kind of conviction that Pope Francis appreciated in the religious women in his life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pope Francis often spoke about the religious sisters he encountered in his life as a Jesuit and bishop in Argentina and then as pope.<\/p>\n

But it started in childhood. \u201cNuns had a profound influence on me and on my entire family. They were companions and teachers at many happy and difficult moments of our lives,\u201d he says in his autobiography.<\/p>\n

He also shares an ironic story of an anti-clerical activist who, when badly ill, was cared for by religious sisters\u00a0whom\u00a0he cursed at first but grew to appreciate. When he returned to his factory job and heard a fellow worker shout out a curse word at a nun, the activist hit him so hard he knocked him down.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can say what you like about God and the priests, but don\u2019t ever insult Holy Mary and the nuns!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n

If Pope Francis was a Jesuit who relied on the help of religious sisters, Elizabeth Ann Seton was a religious sister who relied on the help of Jesuits, particularly Archbishop John Carroll of Baltimore, to whom she turned again and again as she founded her congregation, the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph\u2019s.<\/p>\n

With his help, her congregation became pioneers in both religious life and Catholic education in the United States.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis also shared Mother Seton\u2019s dedication to education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton\u00a0saw\u00a0her teaching vocation as a call to be \u201cthe mother of many daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pope Francis made the same observation. \u201cEducation is the most exciting challenge in life. As a high school teacher, it was something I thoroughly enjoyed,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is an act of fatherly love, like giving life, and constantly requires us to participate, to question what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Francis and Elizabeth earned their spiritual fatherhood and motherhood through patience with their own weaknesses and struggles, and their determination to become who God needed them to be for others.<\/p>\n

Or, to put it another way, both trained their hearts to love \u2014 and their love inspired the Church and the world.<\/p>\n
