As the world mourns Pope Francis, a tender and forgotten chapter of his youth has resurfaced. Long before he became the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics, young Jorge Bergoglio had a secret love — a girl named Amalia Damonte. At just 12, he proposed marriage with a handwritten note saying, “If I don’t marry you, I’ll become a priest.” Her rejection changed the course of history.
