As Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis showed compassion for the victims of HIV-AIDS and in 2001, visited a hospice to kiss and wash the feet of 12 AIDS patients as seen in the picture below.

In 2008, he washed the feet of 12 recovering drug addicts at a rehabilitation center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he is from.

Lord, may we all practice humility as seen in Pope Francis.

The recent emergence of Francis I as Pope and Bishop of Rome has been attended by feverish anticipation and celebration. His ascension to the seat of Saint Peter has many favourable aspects to it. The world’s 1.2 billion Catholics already appear revitalized by such a charismatic and personable figure as the new Pope.  Many aspects of his life, such as his humility, are going to be instrumental in realigning the corporate identity and the corporate brand of the Catholic Church in light of its recent scandals. Not since John Paul II has an individual frenzied up St. Peter’s basilica and billions of television, computer and mobile device screens in just the same way as Pope Francis has. In a follow up to this post we’ll have a look at a few of the reasons why he is the ideal corporate brand manager of the Catholic Church.

The Schizophrenic Murdering Artist

Richard Dadd was a young British painter of huge promise who fell into mental illness while touring the Mediterranean in the early 1840s. He spent over forty years in lunatic asylums, dying at Broadmoor in 1886. During that time he painted, producing mesmerizingly detailed watercolors and oil paintings of which The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke is now the most well known.

Among the symptoms of Dadd’s illness – which sounds today like a form of schizophrenia – were delusions of persecution and the receipt of messages from the Ancient Egyptian deity Osiris. Dadd was commanded to kill his father and did so in the summer of 1843. After an equally well planned escape to France, the artist was eventually admitted to the Criminal Lunatic department of Bethlem Hospital in Lambeth (now the Imperial War Museum) and it was here that he painted the Fairy Feller. According to the inscription on the back of the canvas it took him nine years to complete, between 1855 and 1864.
