One day you are comrades in arms, chums, colleagues palling around—and the next, your friend has become the pastor of the oldest and largest Christian church on earth.
“It is very difficult to say, ‘I’m a friend of the pope,’” says Omar Abboud, one of the most prominent Muslim leaders in Argentina, “because the pope is a mythic figure. Think about who he really is: He is the heir to the Petrine ministry, the representative of God on earth, the heir to St. Peter, chosen by Jesus of Nazareth… This friendship was cultivated at one point with a human being, and it continues as a friendship, but its dimensions have fundamentally changed because of who he has become.”
And yet Pope Francis, uniquely among modern popes, holds tight to his personal, non-Vatican friends, who form what may be the most discreet, protective club on earth: a small group of loosely affiliated Argentine men who became friends of Buenos Aires’ Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, later Cardinal Bergoglio, and who, nine years after he became Pope Francis, in private still call him Jorge. In public, they measure every word.
Mr. Abboud, 56, in February had just returned to Buenos Aires from a trip to Rome, where among other things he and the pope discussed the media storm that followed Francis’comments about pet owners

Pope Francis
Head of the Catholic Church since 2013
Pope Francis[b] (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio;[c] 17 December 1936) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State. He is the first pope from the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit Order), the first from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere, and the first born or raised outside Europe since the 8th-century Syrian pope Gregory III.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio was inspired to join the Jesuits in 1958 after recovering from severe illness. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969; from 1973 to 1979, he was the Jesuit provincial superior in Argentina. He became the archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. He led the Argentine Church during the December 2001 riots in Argentina; the administrations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considered him to be a political rival.
Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on 28 February 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his successor on 13 March. He chose Francis as his papal name in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi. Throughout his public life, Francis has been noted for his humility, emphasis on God's merc
