The Daily Question


In 2022 Pope Francis gave an interview to a popular Italian talk show on Rai state television, appearing as a TV talk show guest. In that interview, what profession did Pope Francis reveal that he thought about going into as a young boy?

   a banker
   a doctor
   a butcher
   a lawyer

Your answer was: a butcher.
You are correct!!


Answer: Here is the quote from the news report: "He recollected that as a young boy he thought about becoming a butcher, because his family's local butcher wore a belt with money moving around in the pockets." However, Jorge Mario Bergoglio worked for a time as a bouncer, a janitor, trained as a chemist and worked as a technician in a food science laboratory before joining the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1958. He became Pope, head of the Roman Catholic Church, March 13, 2013.
